The big picture:Â Packing is all about timing and parallel processes.
Best practices: Minimise unnecessary travel and touches. Treat single-line orders differently. Remove Non-Value-Adding-Activities (NVAA). Use technology to increase productivity.
Tips: You can save a lot of time with pre-consignment of orders to shippers. Never under-estimate the space required for void fillers!
Packing technology options: Pick to Shipper. Put-to-light. Packaging on Demand. System Driven Packing. Automated Packing.

The big picture: AMR can offer much-needed flexibility and scalability to your warehouse operations to respond to changing market demands.
Real world application: During the first stages of COVID-19, a customer that had an AMR solution implemented in preparation for the Christmas rush but experienced an unexpected growth period of 400+%. They urgently needed the capacity to increase the throughput – but potentially only temporarily. Instead of a major warehouse reconfiguration, they were able to achieve the increase by temporarily adding another robot and opening up another workstation to process the single-line orders.
Tip: You only need approximately 3m worth of clearance to pack/sort with flexible automation.
