Automated Warehouses for Pallets

This manual mainly focuses on the knowledge and use of automatic storage solutions for palletised goods and box picking. The concepts we address answer questions such as when to install an automated system, the criteria for choosing the best solution, how the various options of the automated solutions run, which is the optimum picking system for specific needs, etc.

Tendencies within the logistics sector point to a substantial increase in the demand for storage solutions and highly-automated picking, especially in industrialised countries, as a means of cutting costs and competing against products from developing countries or those with a low per capita income.

With that in mind, this manual puts forward the different options for automated handling of palletised goods and picking tasks currently on the market, as well as valuable, advantageous tools for businesses producing and distributing tangible goods.
