Health & Beauty Products

industries_HB_makeupOperations that deal with health and beauty care (HBC) products are excellent candidates for automating with a Kiva solution. Cosmetics, skin care, hair products, vitamins, supplements and similar goods are often picked in each and case quantities to replenish retail stores and salons or to ship directly to consumers. High SKU counts are normal. There are a multitude of packaging configurations to deal with - inner packs, outer packs, cases, clamshells, peg-and-hook-friendly hanging packages, tubes, vials, bottles, and boxes of various shapes and sizes. Additionally, due to formulations and color choices many different products look almost identical which makes it a challenge to pick them accurately. The average warehouse worker would be hard pressed to tell the difference between tubes of red, ruby, scarlet and passion sunset lipstick without some systematic aid in the picking process.

Kiva deals with all these challenges to deliver the most productive and accurate fulfillment solution for health and beauty products on the market. Kiva just works for HBC products:
