PUT WALLS
ECOMMERCE ORDER SORTATION
Put walls are an efficient way to sort containers filled with batch-picked, mixed-SKU merchandise into individual ecommerce and direct-to-consumer orders. Lights on put wall cubbies direct fast and precise order sortation, plus systems can also be configured for light-directed pack-out.
PICKING CARTS
MOBILE BATCH PICKING
