Automated Dispensers
Pick-To-Tote A-Frame
The PTT system ejects orders into a tote that is transported through the system by a conveyor belt. Complete totes are subsequently routed to a packing station for verification and preparation for shipping.
The Pick-to-Tote A-Frame picks at a rate of up to 4,200 orders/hour and up to 99.9% pick accuracy.
Pick-To-Belt A-Frame
The pick-to-belt ejects orders onto a cleated conveyor belt that runs through the center of the A-frame order picking system. Orders are deposited into waiting totes or cartons at the end of the conveyor before being routed to the packing stations.
The pick-to-belt runs at a rate of up to 1,200 orders per hour.
The Mobile Matic, a mobile A-frame, is composed of mobile frames comprising one-sided channels. The frames are wheeled and positioned next to a conveyor belt that moves tote containers along the pick system.
The Mobile-Matic runs at a rate of up to 2,000 orders per hour (depending on order profile).

Benefits of Using SI Systems A-Frame Dispenser
Our Work
KISS Beauty Leverages SI Engineering & Design Study Program to
Expand Order Fulfillment Capacity
After merging its four regional distribution facilities into a single 485,000-square-foot warehouse, our client, a global beauty product supplier, was challenged with the task of managing a complex and diverse distribution network of about 50,000 retail locations and a rapidly growing consumer base.
SI performed a comprehensive engineering and design study to provide the client with a warehouse automated order picking system that can handle the massive number of SKUs with accuracy and speed. The warehouse system was also designed to scale for future expansion.
A-Frame Engineering and Design Study
To help you understand your project size and equipment requirements, SI System's engineers will perform an engineering and design study that is broken down into four parts: Product dimensional analysis, layout of product placement, order profiles, and velocity of product movement.
