Boost efficiency with automated inventory control
Distribution operations rely on speed, accuracy, and clear visibility to keep orders moving and meet customer demands. Manual processes and scattered inventory can slow fulfillment, increase errors, and limit scalability.
Konecranes Agilon warehouse automation system combines automated storage, real-time visibility, and connected material flow in a single solution. Agilon helps distribution operations improve order fulfillment, maintain inventory accuracy, and make better use of space and resources through streamlined storage, picking, and inventory processes.
Read below to see how a warehouse automation system can benefit distribution operations.
Faster order fulfillment
Agilon automates picking and retrieval, significantly reducing the time it takes to process and ship orders. This enables faster response to customer demands and improves service. Automation also minimizes product damage and bottlenecks caused by manual errors or delays, supporting smoother and more consistent material flow.
High picking accuracy
With integrated scales, barcode readers and a user-friendly touchscreen interface, Agilon helps minimize human error while eliminating the need for shelf planning and material balancing. This means the right items are delivered to the right place—critical for customer satisfaction and return reduction.

Maximize efficiency
Agilon delivers flexible picking speeds—according to your specific workflow and system configuration—allowing one operator to pick up to 400 lines per hour.

Real-time visibility and inventory control
Real-time updates, barcode search, and 24/7 system access helps keep your warehouse stocked and organized. The Agilon portal provides full visibility into materials management, tracking usage details for jobs or batches. Real-time alerts notify staff when stock runs low for quick reordering. And integration with ERP systems enables automatic replenishment, reducing manual work and improving supply chain efficiency.
Space-saving design
The compact, modular design of Agilon uses vertical space efficiently, maximizing storage density and freeing up floor space for packing, staging, or other operations. Its modular structure also supports future expansion as operational requirements evolve.
Connected material flow
Connect storage, picking, and transport processes to support efficient material flow across distribution operations. Agilon can be connected with conveyors, transport automation solutions, and warehouse software to help coordinate workflows, improve throughput, and support evolving operational requirements.
Customer stories
Dieta Oy, Finland
Application: Distribution warehouse
Process: Distribution of spare part orders to professional kitchens across Finland
What the customer says: "We needed more office space for after-sales operations and workshop areas but had to stay within the same walls. A traditional shelving system would take up significantly more floor space and wouldn't allow us to utilize room height."
ABB Motors and Generators Service warehouse, Finland
Application: Distribution warehouse
Process: Ships motor and generator spare parts to customers around the world
What the customer says: “Pre-picking speeds up order fulfilment and enhances accuracy, as Agilon delivers only the required package to the access point. This streamlined process eliminates the possibility of picking errors."
