GP3
GP3 (Goods-to-Person for Pick and Pack) utilizes a Multi-shuttle System to integrate product picking, packing, and labeling into one continuous process. Saves on labor and drastically improves efficiency of distribution center operations.

Features

Picking, packing and labeling is done at the same station in a continuous process, saving space and time.

Compared to conventional GTP, complicated conveyors are not required so the footprint is about 40% smaller in addition to a 15% reduction in equipment cost.
Contributes to lower building construction costs and maintenance costs.

Dramatically Increase Efficiency with Less Effort

There’s no walking or looking for items to fulfill an order so labor and effort is drastically reduced.
The right product is delivered to the station at the right time, significantly increasing accuracy even with inexperienced workers.

The order shipping carton and the items to fulfill the order are delivered to the station at the same time, which significantly improves efficiency.
Possible to achieve a 200% increase in productivity over the manual order picking with carts (comparison done by TKSL)

Improve Productivity

Shipping cartons and items to fulfill order are delivered to the station at the same time for significant productivity gains.

Comparison of Conventional Methods vs. GP3

Conventional Method

Space is needed "picking" and "packing" as separate operations.

Picking has to be done by hand to handle various sizes and shapes.
Takes time to find the correct item.
Difficult to remember product locations.
Frequent mistakes in picking.

GP3

Picking and packing are done at the same place, reducing space and improving efficiency.

Workers no longer have to walk to a certain location and look for the item.
Even inexperienced workers can begin right away.
No picking mistakes.

RapidPass

A method of arranging order of totes in one aisle before sending to the station.

RapidPass (inter-aisle transfer) eliminates the need for buffering space for high-speed syncing, and with GP3 you further eliminate space required for packaging for better use of space.
