Streamlining picking processes

Published:  21 February, 2014

QuickPick Remote is a technology that can be employed with CROWN’S GPC 3000 Series order pickers. Wireless control means operators no longer have to return to the truck’s operator platform as they can move the order picker forward at the touch of a button while keeping both hands free.

Scanning lasers, built into the truck, identify potential obstacles preventing collisions. When picking orders from the lowest racking level, operators normally spend an average of 75 % of their time on foot, much of it backtracking. The new solution offers major opportunities to cut time, effort and costs.With QuickPick Remote, Crown says it is launching a uniquely innovative product that has already been extensively tested in the field by a large number of Crown customers.
