WITRON designs and implements innovative logistics and material fl ow systems with leading edge, ergonomic work-

stations that generate sustainable and competitive advantages for our customers.

WITRON has all key elements for a successful project under one roof: logistics design, information and control

technology, mechanics design and production, as well as functional responsibility as a general contractor

for logistics projects. WITRON‘s experience of more than 2,000 implemented logistics projects is leveraged in the

conceptual stages of a system design.

Another important factor for a long-term and trustful customer loyalty is individual service and operator models

that exactly match the requirements of the WITRON customers. Moreover, a comprehensive coverage of the entire

project cycle is the best way to continuously develop existing logistics modules and innovations according to the

market needs.

E-Commerce and Multi-Channel Innovations for modern distribution channels

“Faster, better, cost-effective, ergonomic, durable – these five adjectives describe the path the logistics industry has

taken in recent decades. But in the future, logistics experts will have to face even more challenges.

Interesting tasks like E-Commerce and Multi-Channel Logistics affect almost all industry sectors and influence the

processes within the distribution centers. In order to keep our customers’ logistics systems up to date with these

new distribution channels, we continue to develop new and oftentimes unforeseen logistics solutions in terms of

functionality, IT, mechanics, and service – this is the reason why customers from many industry sectors around the

world trust in WITRON.”

DPS – Dynamic Picking SystemHighly dynamic small-parts picking system. Static and dynamic provision of stored goods to the pick front via cranes reduce the pick front length by up to 75%.

Order totes are automatically supplied to or remo-ved from the workstations. DPS supports different picking options including pick-pack and picking directly into the dispatch carton. Order picking is optimized by a pick-by-light system.

CPS – Car Picking SystemIntelligent picking system based on the person-to-goods princi-ple with route-optimized picking of SKUs, supported by radio fre-quency, pick-by-voice or pick-by-light technology. Stacker cranes automate the order-related replenishment of the pick front. The pick mobiles in the CPS are able to process several customer or-ders at the same time.

MPS – Module Picking SystemHeavy, large-volume, and bulky goods are stored and put onto load carriers in a cost-effective and effi cient manner. The MPS is a goods-to-person system supported by pick-by-light technol-ogy. Thus, walking distances and lifting movements for the op-erator are reduced to a minimum. The MPS enables ergonomic working processes despite an inhomogeneous product range.

The solution supports a vast range of picking variants by means of pick-by-light or pick-to-tote such as 1:1 picking, parallel picking, and pick-and-pack processes.

OFS – Order Fulfi llment SystemHighly dynamic E-Commerce solution optimally aligned to the requirements of an industry sector with constantly changing business processes. High cost-effi ciency despite a small-volume picking operation, error-free picking directly into the dispatch carton, effi cient order consolidation, shortest throughput times, and a transparent and integrated returns management, the OFS fulfi lls all these requirements. Moreover, the OFS supports start-up enterprises in the online trade sector due to its modular design and its fl exibility across all stages of a business development.
