Pallet Picking and Product Reworking

Pallet picking – also known as unit load picking – is common in large-volume industries such as manufacturing and retail. To fulfil an order, we efficiently rework and redistribute bulk-stored products on to final destinations.

  • Label management: removal and replacement of labels.
  • Barcode integration: creation and application of barcode labels.
