Intelligent storage and picking system

13.05.2025

In an increasingly information-based and efficiency-oriented society, warehousing is a central component of a company. Structured warehouse management plays a decisive role in the success of the business. Picking in particular is a labor-intensive and costly process whose efficiency and accuracy have a significant impact on service quality. As a provider of industrial automation solutions, the customer is dedicated to the development, design and sale of intelligent warehouse picking systems. The current focus of research is on increasing operational efficiency and reducing picking errors.

The challenges of storage and picking systems

Problems often occur when leaving the warehouse as operators cannot find the correct location, which significantly impairs efficiency. New employees are often unfamiliar with the materials and their locations when entering the warehouse, which complicates the workflow. In addition, the complexity and volume of data during stocktaking makes the work more difficult and leads to a high expenditure of time.

The solution: RUGGED tablets for clarity and structure

An industrial tablet guides employees to the relevant locations using visual cues at shelves and storage locations. By using the rugged handheld device, which scans QR codes and offers user-friendly touchscreen interaction, tasks such as storage, retrieval and stocktaking can be carried out efficiently. This technological support transforms the traditional, personnel-oriented warehouse management system into an assisted system that makes warehouse management more structured, automated, standardized and efficient.

Advantages of using an industrial tablet

A RUGGED tablet enables a paperless way of working by making picking quick and easy by scanning materials. When leaving the warehouse, the system helps to increase the efficiency and accuracy of material preparation through the use of warehouse lights. During the putaway process, the system automatically links the information of the materials to the corresponding storage locations and organizes them systematically. Stock levels are displayed in real time, ensuring a continuous overview. In addition, no in-depth knowledge of materials is required, which means that new employees can be trained quickly. Overall, the device helps to solve efficiency problems in storage and picking systems and to optimize operational processes.

Robust tablets from spo-comm not only simplify these processes, but many more. You can find more information about our outdoor tablets and their use cases on the overview page:
