XPick Retail Case: Batch Picking in Retail
This project covers an 11,000 m² warehouse supporting distribution to 400 retail stores. Through NovaX automation solutions, the operation achieved 43% labor reduction and a 200% improvement in UPH, significantly enhancing both efficiency and accuracy.
Customer Challenges
- Low picking efficiency due to traditional manual processes.
- High labor dependency and cost, especially during peak distribution periods.
- Frequent sorting errors, leading to delayed deliveries and increased rework.
NovaX Automation Solution
- Efficiency: Deployed 20 P1 autonomous picking robots for batch picking and sorting to 400 stores, achieving a 43% labor reduction and significant error rate decrease.
Workflow Optimization:
- All pallets are first positioned on the ground.
- The WMS sends picking orders to WCS, which groups tasks and dispatches them to the P1 robots.
- P1 robots move to assigned picking points, where operators pick and place items.
- After completing a batch, robots automatically transport goods to the pallet area for store-specific sorting.
Results & Achievements
- 200% improvement in UPH (Units Per Hour).
- 43% labor reduction and lower operational errors.
- Efficient store distribution to 400 outlets with optimized batch workflows.
