Optimized for container handling industry, MHC and LT products
Agilon is an excellent storage solution for maintenance and production supplies. The most accurate monitoring features on the market, combined with material handling automation, have brought cost savings and efficiency for our customers since 2013. Now, these strengths can be combined with unprecedentedly efficient picking, which will expand Agilon’s range of operation considerably, into wholesale and distribution logistics applications, for example.
In a well-optimized picking process, waiting time can be eliminated almost entirely.
Parallel picking is a feature that uses several Agilon robots and access points simultaneously for efficient picking. The operator picks from several adjacent access points, alternating between them. In a well-optimized picking process, waiting time can be eliminated almost entirely.
Parallel picking makes it possible to achieve a pace of up to 270 lines per hour within a shelf system.
Test results show that parallel picking makes it possible to achieve a pace of up to 270 lines per hour within a shelf system. This has been verified in a warehouse with four parallel access points and two robots. The requirements also include advance information about the ERP system so that Agilon can carry out preliminary picking for materials in advance. Thanks to preliminary picking, the number of items does not limit picking efficiency. In addition, short-cycle items will automatically move close to access points.
Agilon's light-controlled batch picking meets the challenges of small goods logistics
The Agilon batch picking functionality allows combining several picking lists into one via Agilon’s user interface. In batch picking, picking lists containing the same items are picked even faster.
ABB Oy's Smart Power unit in Vaasa has recently implemented the Agilon batch picking feature.
Batch picking saves considerable time.
"Batch picking saves considerable time because we have many of the same work orders from Agilon, which often contain the same components. Our warehouse workers have been very satisfied with this functionality and its clarity and ease", says Planning & Fulfillment Specialist Aleksi Laitinen from ABB.

Warehouse workers become productive quickly because Agilon does not allow picking from the wrong box.
As before, the contents of the shelves in Agilon do not need to be planned, and the material does not need to be balanced or managed in any other way after implementation. Warehouse workers become productive quickly because Agilon does not allow picking from the wrong box. Only one item is served at a time. In addition, the integrated scales and the highly user-friendly smart touchscreen help users maintain accurate balances.
Always up-to-date warehouse with 24/7 service
Agilon helps you keep your distribution warehouse in order, items available and information up-to-date daily. Agilon shows a picture of each package, which makes finding the right product quick and easy. The wanted product can be ordered to the Agilon user access point through a user-friendly dashboard that is always available for your personnel.
Easy access to real-time materials management information
Agilon system facilitates monitoring by showing you who took what, when, how much, for which job and from which batch. The system alerts the nominated personnel when items run low and should be reordered. Agilon can be integrated with all the major ERP systems to update stock transactions. Be it SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or any other ERP.
Based on the consumption or balance alert, automatic replenishment orders can also be placed in your supplier´s ERP. For example, essential order-delivery process integration can be implemented with Ahlsell, Etra, Rexel, Würth, Rexel, Toolpoint and Onninen ERP systems. Reorder points can easily be updated remotely at any time.
The Agilon super users and managers can quickly and easily follow consumption levels, inventory information and order history.
