Existing
item picking processes
are labor intensive

With the i-Collector labor-
intensive systems have
become a thing of the past

E-fulfillment needs flexible automation!

By direct delivery to consumers decreases the average shipment size.  Number of orders and order lines are therefore increasing. This change requires adjustment in warehouse processes in the Ecommerce Distribution Centres. Due to unpredictable peaks in order volumes and short lead times in Ecommerce, automation only can be successful when the system is multifunctional and easily responding to these fluctuations. The i-Collector Island concept is a multifunctional system in which functions as Picking & Packing, Replenishment, Consolidation and Handling of Returns are combined.  The stations in the system will be assigned to these functions flexible during operation to achieve high productivity levels and high utilization.




To give some i-Collector interesting figures in the Island concept configuration are per Island:

  • Up to 15.000 universal storage locations
  • Super fast movers using pick to light at the picking station
  • Reduced footprint utilisation, maximum profitability
  • Productivity up to 400 lines per hour Pick & Pack
  • Modular and scalable to support your business needs today and well into the future
  • Integration handling of returns in the same system
  • Sequencing of orderlines
  • Integration consolidation of already packed orders in same system
  • Tailored into your current building
  • High Return Of Investment
  • Low cost of ownership
