Keihin Distribution needed to perform picking for a large number of orders (roughly 6,000 per day).
The company sought a highly efficient workflow built on the visualization of A products, B products, and C products based on logistical analysis of item hit rates.
After
Picking efficiency and inventory accuracy improved
Productivity improved such that the company can now process roughly 7,000 orders per day.
Picking speed increased after two conveyor lines were introduced for high hit-rate items (A product) to enable picking for two orders at a time.
The final conveyor is split into a line for B/C products (low hit-rate items) and an inspection line. This configuration has improved work efficiency.

The final result is a pick to light system linked to free conveyors that comprise two lines with identical flow rack and conveyor layouts for high hit-rate items (A products), and a conveyor with a mid-sized rack for low hit-rate items (B/C products).
