Goods-to-person principle

Time savings through dynamic delivery of stored goods

The automated goods-to-person retrieval system can save a significant amount of time. With this system, also known as dynamic retrieval, goods are transported directly to the employee at the retrieval point via automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). The goods-to-person system is available in various versions—for example, small parts can be stored in an 07-depozit-automat-pentru-piese-mici_en.htmlautomated small parts warehouse, while pallets can be stored in an automated pallet warehouse.

This automated transport system based on the “goods-to-person” principle saves considerable time by eliminating the need for walking and searching for various items. Transport times are also reduced thanks to fast, fully automated systems. This system eases the workload for employees and creates a more comfortable work rhythm. Its compact design allows for optimal use of storage space, thus reducing rental, heating, and electricity costs.

One of the greatest advantages of the goods-to-person system is the reduced error rate, as precise information about stored and required goods is saved in the control software. Workplace accidents that could lead to damage to goods or injury to employees can also be prevented, as storage and retrieval systems ensure the safe transport of items at all times.

Storage systems like the Hänel Lean-Lift® and Hänel Rotomat® operate according to the goods-to-person principle.

Goods-to-person principle in Hänel Lean-Lift® and Hänel Rotomat® storage systems

With Hänel's automated storage systems, the goods-to-person principle can be implemented optimally. Innovations such as the Hänel Lean-Lift® or the Hänel Rotomat® vertical carousel deliver the desired goods safely, quickly, and conveniently to the user.

The Hänel Rotomat® vertical storage system makes optimal use of ceiling heights, ensuring not only quick access to goods but also up to 60% more storage capacity. This enables optimal utilization of expensive storage space. Long walking distances, climbing stairs, or bending down during goods retrieval are eliminated. Items and parts become quickly accessible thanks to the goods-to-person principle—at an ergonomic retrieval height.

The Hänel Lean-Lift® storage system also operates on the goods-to-person principle: it reduces costs and allows for more efficient use of space. Within seconds, requested goods are delivered to the retrieval area, ready to be picked at an ergonomic height. The Hänel storage system significantly reduces access times and increases order picking performance.
