Axiom has designed and built the cell to check the weights of filled and sealed totes prior to despatch for retail replenishment of home tech products. The high value of some of these products requires higher levels of traceability than lesser value items.
The cell is designed around Axiom's own zero-pressure ZLP conveyors. Filled and sealed tote bins containing home tech products are loaded according to the manifest from the WMS. This manifest also provides a target weight for the complete shipment.
Each tote has a unique licence-plate barcode which is associated on the WMS with the order. Completed totes are loaded on one of two induct legs. The totes index under a SICK code scanner, from the reading, the Axiom system will recall the target weight against that tote. The tote is weighed utlising a Mettler-Toledo integrated weigh bench.
Depending on whether the tote meets the target weight and the barcode can be read, the tote will pass through the cell to the packing area.
If a tote should fail on either criteria, the electric side-transfer units will pass the totes to a central QC area for rectification. At the meeting point from the two streams, is a manual ball-table, utilising AWAYSE supplied ball units.
