Caja’s solution
Caja Robotics warehouse automation solution uses an improved approach for handling the challenges of the apparel logistics world – an adaptive, scalable, and responsive system that can handle not only today’s market needs but future changes too.
Caja’s solution is easily adapted to the apparel logistics world.
Our system affects everything from the lightning-fast inbound replenishment process to the daily tasks that demand synchronizing with pre-installed WMS (Warehouse Management System), while also controlling omni-channel orders, future order prediction algorithms, and warehouse optimization. At every step of the process, the solution is designed for optimization.
The state-of-the-art goods-to-person picking process keeps delivery accuracy at peak levels. Meanwhile, orders returns, which are usually a very complicated part of the warehouse managing process, are made fast and simple thanks to the smart algorithm and WMS synchronization, which bring item availability back online quickly.
Our two types of picking stations optimize the picking process for both e-commerce and retail apparel fulfillment centers.
The bins consolidation process made possible by Caja’s algorithms creates optimized storage space usage which, together with the option for multi-SKU bins, maximizes fulfillment center space usage.
The Apparel market is effected by peak times and market changes. Caja robotics’ system is elastic and adaptable, so easy and fast expansion of robot units is possible for peak times or even when fulfillment center growth is needed.
Apparel fulfillment centers deal with the challenge of handling different size boxes and even hanger-based items. Caja has a solution for this dynamic range of sizes and materials. Our two types of robotsare optimized to deal with this kind of diversity.
Caja’s solution for the apparel market is not just a picking platform, it is an A-Z full-process solution.
