Picture this: Your warehouse is buzzing with activity as orders flood in from a viral social media promotion on TikTok, and the demand for that product spiked overnight. Normally, this kind of sudden rush would create bottlenecks in your warehouse fulfillment process, leading to slowdowns, inefficiencies, potentially inaccuracies, and missed shipping deadlines. But what if your Person-to-Goods (P2G) solution could provide you with unlimited throughput without the need for the expensive <\/span>fixed G2P<\/span><\/a> infrastructure that you might be evaluating?<\/span><\/p>

P2G warehouse automation solutions are ideal for warehouses that need unmatched <\/span>flexibility<\/span><\/a> in their operations and the benefits increase further with Locus Robotics\u2019 Fast Pick functionality, which gives P2G solutions throughput that is even better than traditional G2P solutions.<\/span><\/p>

With Fast Pick, the line between P2G and G2P begins to blur. Fast Pick allows warehouse operations that use P2G to gain throughput without requiring the investment and fixed nature of a fully automated system like an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS\/RS). It\u2019s like getting the best of both worlds, especially for high-velocity, bulk picking scenarios.<\/span><\/p>

How Fast Pick Works in a Warehouse<\/b><\/p>

Fast Pick was designed to simplify bulk and high-velocity picking tasks. In a typical P2G solution, associates collaborate with multiple robots, working one at a time in designated aisles to pick goods and place them on the robots for further processing. While associates may need to walk to the next available robot, they still benefit from the efficiency of a multi-bot system. With Fast Pick, the process allows associates to stay relatively stationary to cut down even further on walking time, as multiple robots come to them, stationed at ideal pick locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For fast-moving items like promotional goods (such as an item that\u2019s included with each purchase) or viral products, Fast Pick enables associates to pick directly from bulk storage, like pallets or gaylords, rather than having to take the time to unpack and to store items in individual totes or bins first. By picking directly from these larger storage containers, Fast Pick dramatically reduces the number of steps involved in fulfilling orders, allowing for unit-per-hour (UPH) and lines-per-hour (LPH) rates to skyrocket.<\/span><\/p>
