Boost Your Warehouse Efficiency with Smart Pick Modules

Automated Pick Module

Seamlessly Combining Traditional Storage and Automation for Faster, More Accurate Order Fulfillment

Understanding Pick Modules: Efficient Storage and Automated Order Picking

A Pick Module is a warehouse solution that integrates traditional storage methods—such as pallet racks, carton flow systems, or shelving—with automation technologies to enhance order picking efficiency. By combining familiar racking structures with automated components like conveyors or pick-to-light systems, Pick Modules optimize space utilization and reduce the time workers spend searching for items. 

This integration not only increases storage density through vertical and high-density configurations but also improves picking speed and accuracy by guiding operators and minimizing manual errors. Designed for flexibility, Pick Modules support various picking strategies and product types, making them an effective choice for distribution centers, e-commerce warehouses, and retail fulfillment facilities aiming to streamline operations and boost productivity.

Core Components of an Automated Pick Module

An automated pick module typically consists of several key components that work together to optimize order fulfillment. Together, these components create a highly efficient, accurate, and scalable picking solution that improves productivity and reduces errors in warehouse operations.

Traditional Racking Systems

Traditional Racking Systems

Traditional Racking Systems

These include pallet racks, shelving, and carton flow racks, which serve as the foundational structure for organizing inventory. They are strategically designed to accommodate different item sizes and weights while supporting high-density storage and easy access for picking operations.

Conveyor Systems

Conveyor Systems

Conveyor Systems

Conveyors are used to automate the movement of items between storage areas and picking or packing stations. By reducing manual transportation and walking time, conveyor systems increase throughput and enable continuous material flow across multiple warehouse zones.

Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light Devices
