Goods-to-Person Automation Systems | BoxLogix

Technology Benefits

Goods-to-Person (G2P) technology is beneficial because it eliminates the wasted time and labor of workers walking to pick items. Instead, automation brings products directly to operators, which streamlines order fulfillment, increases throughput, improves accuracy, and reduces fatigue. By centralizing picking stations and automating product retrieval, companies can maximize storage density, optimize labor efficiency, and scale operations more easily to meet demand.

Increased Productivity: By bringing goods directly to the operator, GTP systems significantly reduce the time spent walking and searching for items, boosting overall picking efficiency.
Enhanced Accuracy: Automated systems and precise inventory management reduce errors, ensuring that the correct items are picked and delivered.
Improved Ergonomics: GTP systems minimize the physical strain on workers by eliminating the need for excessive walking, bending, and reaching.
Scalability: These systems can be easily scaled to accommodate growth in order volume or changes in product range.
Cost Savings: Reduced labor costs and improved operational efficiency result in significant cost savings over time.

Considerations

Throughput & sizing

Peak lines/hr, presentations/min per station, # of concurrent orders.

# of workstations required, buffers/WIP between storage and stations.

Technology choice & mechanics

Lift counts, aisle density, robot fleet sizing, redundancy.

System type: shuttle, miniload, cube-based AS/RS, AMR/AGV, vertical buffer.

Workstation design & ergonomics

Reach envelopes, height adjustability, pick/put confirmation devices (PTL, screens).

Present-to-person sequencing, 1:1 vs. 1:many put walls, trash/void fill/pack adjacency.

Layout & infrastructure

Footprint, mezzanines, egress, seismic/fire code (sprinklers in racks, in-rack detection).
