Project Flash Fulfillment
As online sales and demand for efficient multi-temperature order fulfillment systems continue to increase, Burns & McDonnell has completed a prototypical design to accommodate diverse markets and products. A fully engineered plan is ready to be site adapted per your geographic needs. Our solution is capable of multi-temperature order processing using the leanest labor principles available in the industry today. Ambient, chilled and frozen order processing is simplified, efficient and flexible. This shuttle ASRS-based (automated storage and retrieval system) solution is centered on tote and tray containers to maximize product size flexibility and reliability. Our prototype integrates automated package erection, robotic picking, dry ice generation, automated dunnage placement, case closing, and print-on-the-fly, package-unique branding. The design maximizes throughput with minimal staffing requirements. Orders can be processed immediately for shipment or pre-staged for longer-term service-level agreements. This piece-picking design is viable for use in markets include grocery, frozen foods, consumer products and pharmaceuticals.
