Goods To Person
AMRs – Rack to Person
Goods-to-Person AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), often referred to as Rack-to-Person systems, are flexible, intelligent automation solutions designed to bring entire shelving racks or pods directly to stationary pickers. Instead of operators walking through warehouse aisles, AMRs navigate autonomously through the facility, locating and transporting racks containing the required inventory to picking stations.
This approach significantly reduces travel time, boosts picking efficiency, and enhances order accuracy. Rack-to-Person systems are ideal for dynamic environments like e-commerce and 3PL operations, offering rapid deployment, scalability, and the ability to adapt to changing inventory layouts without major infrastructure changes. With their smart navigation and real-time integration into warehouse management systems, AMRs enable a safer, more productive, and future-ready fulfilment process.
Benefits of Rack-to-Person AMRs
- Increased picking productivity
- up to 3–4x faster than manual picking
- Reduced labour dependency
- fewer walking hours, more efficient use of staff
- Flexible and scalable
- easy to expand or reconfigure as operations grow
- Minimal infrastructure changes
- quick to deploy with low disruption
- Improved accuracy
- reduces errors through system-guided workflows
- Optimised space utilisation
- dynamic storage layouts without fixed aisles

Mini Load Cranes
Mini Load Cranes are high-speed automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) designed for handling small, lightweight items stored in totes, trays, or cartons. Operating within narrow aisles and high-density racking, these cranes swiftly move vertically and horizontally to retrieve or store goods with precision. Ideal for warehouses and e-commerce fulfilment centres, Mini Load Cranes streamline order picking, replenishment, and inventory management in operations where speed, accuracy, and space efficiency are critical.
By automating the retrieval of smaller SKU profiles, these systems dramatically reduce picking times, improve stock accuracy, and enable 24/7 operation with minimal manual intervention. Their compact design makes them a perfect fit for environments with limited floor space or high SKU volumes, especially where order profiles are varied and fast-moving.
Benefits of Mini Load Cranes
- High picking performance
- Fast, automated retrieval of totes or cartons
- Space optimisation
- Maximises vertical and aisle space usage
- Improved inventory accuracy
- Automation reduces human error
- Increased throughput
- Ideal for fast-paced e-commerce environments
- Energy efficient and low maintenance
- Designed for long-term reliability
- Fully integratable
- Seamless connection with WMS and ERP systems

Auto Store (AR/RS)
AutoStore is a high-density automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) designed to maximise space efficiency and streamline order fulfilment. Using a modular grid of stacked bins and fast-moving robots, AutoStore stores inventory in a compact cubic layout, eliminating the need for traditional racking and aisles. Robots travel across the top of the grid, retrieving bins and delivering them to ergonomic operator ports for picking or replenishment.
This goods-to-person system significantly increases picking speed, improves inventory accuracy, and reduces warehouse footprint by up to 75% compared to conventional shelving. Scalable and energy-efficient, AutoStore is ideal for e-commerce, retail, 3PL, and manufacturing environments looking to optimise throughput and future-proof their operations.
Vertical Storage
Automated vertical storage systems are space-efficient, goods–to–person solutions that retrieve items from vertically arranged trays or bins and deliver them directly to an operator at an ergonomic access point.
By maximising vertical space and minimising the warehouse footprint, these systems enable fast, accurate order picking while keeping stock secure and accessible only when needed.
With over 28 years experience, we pride ourselves on delivering successful installations for leading organisations. Our commitment to excellence fosters strong relationships, allowing us to provide tailored automation solutions and ongoing support.
