Layer picker solutions

With Körber Layer Picker Solutions, you can combine high-bay storage, conveyors, cranes and a warehouse control system with our market-leading Layer Picker technology. This fully-integrated system is designed to optimize efficiency, productivity and space in your warehouse or distribution center.

Organizations face a range of challenges when it comes to layer picking:

• Speed of change as more and more product lines need to be picked.
• Recruiting manual labor for picking, and providing ergonomic working practices, are key challenges.
• Damaged products caused by manual picking errors can significantly increase costs.

Our fully-integrated Layer Picker Solutions provide automated de-palletizing and pallet-to-pallet picking. This unique, automated, flexible system can be scaled up to 10,000 picks per day at one location. 

Körber’s Layer Picker Solutions can automatically build rainbow pallets with different layers, while providing automated buffering of pallets and improving the working environment in warehouses and distribution centers.

At the center of the application, our industry-standard Layer Picker can handle up to 98% of all goods commonly found in food retail. This innovative piece of equipment can pick a single layer or several layers at once. In addition, it can pick layers with voids and layers with open trays or cases with loose lids.

Automation reduces complexity in the picking process, while increasing speed and accuracy.

The system significantly reduces reliance on manual labor, which also reduces cost.

Expandable and adaptable to changes, the system can also be integrated into existing systems.

Designed to revolutionize your warehouse processes, our fully-integrated Layer Picker Solutions can be tailored to meet all your business requirements.
