Investing in Warehouse Innovation

BlueStar deploys next-generation warehouse automation processes

 

Now, the details of how this thing really works.

From the moment an order is released to BlueStar's Exotec system, robotics and automation combine to guide parts from shelf to truck.

picking-1

Robotic Goods-to-Person

Autonomous robots from Exotec work in unison to select and retrieve bins that are bought directly to a warehouse specialist.

confirmation

Confirmation of Parts

The warehouse specialist chooses the correct quantity of each part for the order, passing the label by a high-speed imager to verify that they're chosen the correct SKU.

conveyance

Powered Conveyance

The completed order travels down a powered conveyer where a series of quality control steps take place, confirming weight and accuracy of each box.

taping

Void Fill & Taping

Using Lidar, the box is scanned for the required amount of void fill, then it's filled with a sustainable paper material before being taped shut.

labeling

Print-on Demand Labeling

The next stop on the conveyer is a two-step labeling process that applies the shipping label and packing slips required for shipment.

sorting

Sorted for Shipping

Once the parcel has completed its journey, it will arrive at the ship sorted where it's routed to the correct dock door, based on shipment method.
