…three pull times: FedEx at 4pm, UPS at 5pm, DHL at 6pm. This operation may wave each pull time separately, pick through to completion, then wave the next in. As shown in the graph, they picked FedEx to completion by 10:30am — an unnecessary early finish, then wave UPS and pick until 3:30pm and finally wave DHL but barely finish by the 6pm pull time. If you look at this operation’s rate information, they took a strong rate hit because the FedEx pool of work was small. The graph above shows the difference when picking with 6 River Systems’ Guaranteed…

…up in a space.” Reference customers show the way DHL deployed a fleet of nine Crown pallet trucks in one-way aisles between double-deep storage, recalled Gaskell. “The vehicle scans the pallet, and the WMS [warehouse management system] buffers the data,” he said. “The robot tender knows what's going on quickly.” The automated fork truck can lift and load faster than a manually operated one, and a remote operator can see through its camera,” Gaskell added. “That way, it doesn't have to be perfect.” Semi-autonomous or hybrid operations make remote interventions easier, he said. It also gives large customers such as…
