Handling and Order Processing
Handling systems include: trans-pallet handlers, counterweight handler, bilateral handlers, trilateral handlers, AGV* and stacker handlers. Storage systems include: pile stocking*, cell racks (either static or movable), cantilever racks and gravity racks.
Unit loads* for transportation of luggage at the airport, in this case the unit load has protective function.
Unit loads are combinations of individual items which are moved by handling systems, usually employing a pallet of normed dimensions.
Order processing is a sequential process involving: processing withdrawal list, picking (selective removal of items from loading units), sorting (assembling items based on destination), package formation (weighting, labeling and packing), order consolidation (gathering packages into loading units for transportation, control and bill of lading).
Picking can be both manual or automated. Manual picking can be both man to goods, i.e. operator using a cart or conveyor belt, or goods to man, i.e. the operator benefiting from the presence of a mini-load ASRS, vertical or horizontal carousel or from an Automatic Vertical Storage System (AVSS). Automatic picking is done either with dispensers or depalleting robots.
Sorting can be done manually through carts or conveyor belts, or automatically through sorters [10].
*AGV – is an automated guided vehicle or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor, or uses vision, magnets, or lasers for navigation. They are most often used in industrial applications to move materials around warehouse. Application of the automatic guided vehicle has broadened during the late 20th century.
