You won’t have to hire more employees because the Computer Controlled Carousels combine several orders into a batch. Then the requested items are delivered quickly to the operator via the shortest path to eliminate walking, climbing and searching. The Computer Controlled Carousels have pick-to-light technology that shows the operator exactly where the item is located and what quantity they need to pick. And while the operator is picking the first item, the carousel is already rotating to the next one. This reduces dwell time and improves efficiency. (See videos see videos)
