Warehouse Receiving Automation with ADDRIS

ADDRIS Automates Inbound Receiving and Replenishment Decanting for Break Pack

ADDRIS Solves Automation Integration at Receiving and Replenishment

ADDRIS captures inbound case data to intelligently sort cases eligible for automation into the robotic decant cells while allocating cases that require inspection to operator workstations to ensure accurate and efficient receiving of inventory into automated storage systems.  

ADDRIS Optimizes Automation with Operators for accurate receiving and replenishment.

ADDRIS Performance - Case Eligibility and ROI

Each ADDRIS System work cell can be configured to handle a range of 425 or 850 full cases per hour and because they are modular work cells the final layout(s) can be designed by application requirement and integrated with existing work cells.   

The ROI for ADDRIS ranges from 4 to 10 months on labor and also provides significant space savings over manual processes as well as, consolidation functions that optimize performance of the adjacent ASRS tote-based systems.

Warehouse Operational Improvements

ADDRIS integrates operators with data driven automation for optimized inbound receiving and processing of pallets and of cases that need to be opened, decanted and consolidated into totes.  The automation integrated with ergonomic operator workstations provides numerous operational, labor, ergonomic and space utilization improvements overall that can be evaluated by each application.   

ADDRIS provides the unique ability to have operators assess and add SKUs to become automation eligible and produce reports that details what SKUs are not automation eligible and why.  This allows for true continuous improvement on the inbound process to increase the number of SKUs that can be made Automation Eligible.
