Meeting the Fulfillment Challenge

   News & Events

Every distribution center (DC) strives to attain flexible, efficient order fulfillment but struggles with the limitations of current tools. Now Kiva Systems has created an innovative model that eliminates the constraints of existing methods and puts you back in control of your warehouse.

The Kiva Mobile Fulfillment System (Kiva MFS) uses a breakthrough new approach to order fulfillment - one that simultaneously improves productivity, speed, accuracy, and flexibility. With the Kiva MFS, operators stand still while the products come to them. Pallets, cases, and orders are stored on inventory pods that are picked up and moved by a fleet of mobile robotic drive units. As a result, any product can go to any operator.

Applications

• Split-Case Picking
• Case Picking
• Mixed-Pallet Building
• Shipping Sortation
• Split-Case Replenishment
