Winkel Fast Pick Stations. Picking stations with high picking capacity.

Winkel GmbH has delivered five of its high-performance FAST PICK stations to a Swedish electronics retailer. The stations will enable an efficient, ergonomic picking process with a high picking capacity. The innovative pallet buffer allows for continuous operation, as it reduces the time to prepare the next pallet for loading to a few seconds. The stations also ensure that the handling of goods is conducted with care. In addition, the stations seamless integration into an in-house conveyor system facilitates a streamlined shipping process.

The FAST PICK stations are designed with two levels: the upper level of each station comprises a loading table on a platform. Employees receive a variety of parcels, small packets, and trays with mixed goods via the in-house conveyor system and load these onto a pallet provided for the specific order. Below the platform lies a shaft into which the pallet can be gradually lowered. This allows the loading table to be adjusted to ensure that it is always at an optimal height for the employee. The FAST PICK station has a capacity of up to 800 picks/hr per station.

An automatic pallet wrapper is integrated into the shaft. As soon as the pallet is completely loaded, a vertical lift takes it downwards, wrapping it with durable stretch film as it descends to secure it for shipping.

One of the highlights of the FAST PICK station is the integrated pallet buffer. This solution immediately provides an empty pallet for loading, as soon as the full pallet begins to lower. The packed and wrapped pallet is fed directly from the shaft onto another conveyor line. The station will then place a new, empty pallet in the buffer, ensuring work is carried out continuously.

An advantage during the installation process is that the stations can be installed in a very tight space and can be easily integrated into the existing production and logistics processes of the Swedish company. The installation was carried out by a renowned integrator from Austria. With the FAST PICK stations, the electronics retailer has managed to increase the efficiency of its palletizing, depalletizing, and picking.
