Horizontal Carousels
Horizontal carousels consist of an oval track with rotating bins containing shelves that deliver items to the operator. Often used in integrated workstations of carousels called a "pod." This allows an operator to pick from one active carousel while the others are pre-positioning to be picked the moment the operator is ready.
Every carousel uses one of the many integrated QuickPick® pick-to-light technologies to indicate the active carousel, shelf level and quantity of items to pick, making batch picking simple, fast and easy.
