Warehouse picking automation

Move materials through storage, picking, and onward processes quickly and accurately. Agilon combines automated storage and retrieval, guided picking, real-time inventory visibility, and connected material flow to keep materials moving.

Benefits of automated picking

              
    Higher picking accuracy
Accurate inventory information and guided picking help operators pick the right materials for the right task, order, or process, reducing picking errors and rework.

              
    Faster picking and throughput
Automated storage and retrieval, guided picking, and connected material movement reduce wait times and help operators process picks more efficiently.

              
    Real-time inventory visibility
See stock levels, item locations, and material movements clearly to support better planning, replenishment, and picking decisions.

              
    Scalable picking capacity
Scale picking capacity as volumes and operational requirements grow.

How automated picking works

Receive and store

Materials are received, registered, and moved into automated storage, keeping inventory information up to date from the start. Automated infeed and flexible transfer options help connect receiving directly with storage while reducing unnecessary manual handling.

Retrieve and pick

Automated retrieval brings the right materials directly to the operator. Light-guided and batch picking support fast, accurate handling of multiple orders, while dedicated picking stations help keep the flow moving efficiently.

Kit and prepare

Prepare materials in advance for production orders, jobs, or other downstream processes. Kitting and pre-picking bring the right parts together before they are needed, supporting reliable material availability and a smoother flow to the next stage.

Move to the next process

Keep materials moving beyond picking to production, packing, dispatch, or the point of use. Automated outfeed, conveyors, the Agilon Autoload Trolley, and mobile automation can connect storage with downstream processes while reducing manual handovers.

Keep inventory updated

Every transaction is recorded as materials move through the process, providing accurate inventory information and full traceability. ERP and WMS integration connects inventory data with replenishment and operational workflows, supporting better planning and decision-making.

Picking solutions for different operational needs

Production picking

Light-guided picking, batch picking, pre-picking, and kitting help prepare the right materials for production. Integrated flow racks and connected material handling can keep parts moving to the point of use with less manual handling.

Distribution and order picking

Automated storage and goods-to-person picking reduce unnecessary walking and searching, helping operators fulfil orders faster and more accurately.

Small-parts picking

Automated storage, guided picking and real-time inventory visibility help operators pick small parts quickly and accurately across production, distribution and maintenance operations.

Connected material flow

Automated infeed and outfeed, conveyors, the Agilon Autoload Trolley and mobile automation connect picking with receiving, production, packing and dispatch.
