By integrating Tompkins Robotics’ tSort with GreyOrange’s Ranger Goods-to-Person (GTP) system, a warehouse pick station operator can fill hundreds of orders simultaneously and safely from a single picking station.
Description:
In April 2021, the two companies announced a combined solution that starts by using a GreyOrange Ranger goods-to-person (G2P) robot to bring racks of inventory to a stationary human worker. The worker then picks items and places them onto a Tompkins t-Sort robot, which sorts items into bins with other items from the same order. The human picker
remains in one place throughout the process, thus making it a “zero walk” solution.
