Picking

With the surge in e-commerce, warehouses face the challenge of managing high SKU volumes, fluctuating demand, and tight delivery windows. Traditional manual picking methods struggle to keep pace, often resulting in errors, inefficiencies, and increased labor costs. Labor shortages further exacerbate these challenges, making it harder to scale operations during seasonal or unexpected peaks.

Automating the picking process addresses these issues by streamlining workflows, reducing errors, and improving throughput. Automated systems, powered by robotics and AI, optimize pick routes, handle diverse items, and enable real-time inventory updates, enhancing accuracy and efficiency.

The different picking technologies deployed within OIA's systems utilize cutting-edge robotic automation and intelligent software to redefine warehouse picking processes—whether you’re picking eaches or cases. Our OCADEX robotic arms employ reinforcement learning and behaviour cloning—two emerging fields of AI—to pick items they’ve never seen before. It’s cutting-edge AI, deployed at a scale unsurpassed anywhere else in this industry.

Together, these technologies create a more efficient, streamlined picking operation, enhancing productivity across the entire warehouse.
