Horizontal Carousels Pod Picking
Horizontal carousels are typically grouped in two to four machines with a single operator. These arrays are sometimes referred to a pod. The horizontal carousels may be serviced in a 'round robin' fashion allowing the machines to preposition to their next location while other horizontal carousels are being picked.
With the use of horizontal carousels, which bring the part to the man, eliminating the walking of aisles, improvements on pick rates as high as ten fold have been achieved! Other benefits include additional security and increased pick accuracy through visual aides integrated within the pod.
Perhaps no other engineers have more experience with horizontal carousels than ours.
