FlexTruck Voice Solution - Automated Guided Vehicle System
Seamlessly integrate wireless picking technology with Automated Guided Vehicles
The Dematic FlexTruck Voice solution combines laser-guided pallet trucks with a voice directed system to increase picking productivity for case picking applications.
Using industrial grade laser guidance systems the FlexTruck Voice solution upgrades pallet trucks to driverless operations. At the start of an order, the FlexTruck delivers a new pallet directly to the picker, automatically moves with the Voice-equipped picker as they verbally confirm picks, and transports the completed pallet to shipping while the next FlexTruck brings a new pallet to the picker.
Because non-value adding activities, including retrieving a new pallet, driving a pallet mover in the pick aisle, and transporting a completed pallet to shipping, are completely automated, allowing pickers to remain in the pick aisle and concentrate on the task at hand, travel distance is reduced and productivity is increased by up to 100%.
FlexTruck Voice can be upgraded to existing systems or implemented into new systems, delivering the most optimal performance available for a manual picking operation.
