Keep production moving with scalable material flow

In production, having the right parts and materials available at the right time is critical. Manual storage and material handling can lead to unnecessary searching, picking errors, and production delays.

Agilon warehouse automation connects automated storage, picking, and real-time inventory information to keep parts and components accessible, traceable, and ready when production needs them. Its scalable design allows storage and picking capacity to grow with production requirements, helping maintain material availability and keep production moving as demand changes.

Streamlined and automated material flow

Agilon automates the storage, retrieval, and delivery of materials, reducing manual handling and providing a smooth supply of parts and components to production lines. A single operator can process 200–600 order lines per hour, depending on the setup and picking process.

Integrated material flow

Agilon integrates easily with conveyors, automated I/O systems, and transport automation solutions, supporting more synchronized material flows across production operations.

Combined with solutions such as the Agilon Autoload Trolley, materials can move efficiently between storage and production areas while reducing manual handling and supporting production supply processes.
