Maximum productivity for
storing and picking frozen
products
The Solution Design
In response to recurring labor, efficiency and quality issues in warehousing,
Swisslog has developed a materials handling solution to meet both the
current and future requirements of deep-freeze warehouses.
Ergonomical Picking Ensures Maximum Productivity
At the heart of FreezerPick is the ergonomic goods-to-person picking
station. This concept allows picking to be moved out of the freezer into
a chilled environment and creates optimized working conditions for
picking operators.

FreezerPick: How the Solution Design Works
FreezerPick is an innovative picking system for frozen products that shifts the manual
picking process from the deep-freeze warehouse to a chilled area. The subsystems are
connected through material flow control and warehouse management software. It is the
intelligent way the systems are interlinked that creates an efficient picking solution.
Pallet storage

1. Pallets are identified in receiving.
2. A monorail system transports the pallets to the automated high-bay storage area where they are placed into stock.

3. Pallets removed from the high-bay storage area are separated by fully automated de-palletizer robots.
4. The cartons or cases are then put away in a miniload buffer storage.

5. When removing goods from storage, sequencing algorithms guarantee that cases arrive at each picking station
in product groups or in retail store shelf sequence.
6. The ergonomically optimized goods-to-person picking stations are located outside the freezer area in a chilled
environment (4-10°C). Picking can also be automated. Since retail store pallets and roll cages are lowered back
into the freezer area (-28°C) straight after picking, the goods to be picked only stay in the chilled area for a few
minutes, thus complying with all cold-chain regulations.
7. The custom-picked retail store pallets and roll cages are wrapped, labeled and prepared for transport.
