A warehouse may have several different types of equipment
which work in isolated areas. For example, a gas-operated
fork lift might not be permitted into an area of the
warehouse. Another example is a very-narrow-ailse crane
might be restricted to the very-narrow-aisles.
SEQOS uses "staging" locations to pass stock
between different types of equipment. When stock is
confirmed at a staging location by one RF using a type
of equipment, another suitable RF with another type
of equioment is automatically triggered to pick up the
stock.
Pick-to-Light
SEQOS is integrated to several different brands of
pick-to-light systems including a proprietary system.
Carousels
Multiple carousels operating simultaneously are supported.
For example, while picking from one carousel, another
carousel is instructed to turn to be ready for the next
pick.
The replenishment function is also integrated with
the carousels by instructed the carousel to spin to
the required location to replenish stock.
Multi-order picking is supported by picking the total
quantity from a carousel bin and distributing to orders
on a bench, all using pick-to-light.
Check-Weigh
The weight of a shipper (tote
or carton) and its contents is calculated and compared
with the weight transmitted from the scales. If the
weight is outside a tolerance, the shipper is rejected
to a "checking" lane.
Sortation Diverters
Barcoded cartons for multiple orders are placed on
a conveyor. A fixed-head scanner near the end of the
conveyor reads the barcode and SEQOS operates a diverter
at the right time for the corresponding order's lane.
ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval
Systems)
This is intergrated with the SEQOS Automated Task Queue.
The interface is customised depending on the manufacturing
of the ASRS.
The weight of a shipper (tote
or carton) and its contents is calculated and compared
with the weight transmitted from the scales. If the
weight is outside a tolerance, the shipper is rejected
to a "checking" lane.
