    Kardex Intutitve Picking Assistant for AutoStore

    Kardex announced new upgrades to their solutions designed to enhance operations for customers using the AutoStore AS/RS. These included upgrades to the FulfillX WES (Warehouse Execution System) and the IPA (Intuitive Picking Assistant). 

    Kardex's upgrades to the FulfillX WES include Power BI integration for custom reporting, on-demand order picking for urgent requests, and enhanced inventory tracking. The FulfillX WES enables AutoStore systems to ramp up faster and meet or exceed business cases in as little as six months, providing a real-time overview of the entire operation in a simple window.

    Kardex also announced an upgrade to its IPA with the Optical State Capture feature, which captures and analyzes data to deliver performance tracking and process optimization. The IPA uses digital tools and augmented reality to respond to workers' movements and project relevant picking information directly onto the surface of the access opening. It delivers accurate, ergonomic picking that can be customized to specific customer requirements. The feature can determine why an unwanted inventory adjustment occurred by capturing operator interactions, changes in the cube, and inventory images. AI technology can then review the entire process and interaction so that users can work out how to prevent the same adjustment from happening again.

    Also launched for the first time was the StoreX Calculator, a cost & performance tool that lets you enter your data to calculate ROI, system footprint, performance metrics, storage capacity, and cost savings. It generates a comprehensive performance report for an AutoStore solution in the user's facility, based on key data such as order volume, storage capacity needs, and labor requirements.

    "Our focus remains on simplifying the design and deployment of AutoStore systems—whether it’s optimizing picking and packing workflows in the Kardex FulfillX WES (KFX) or introducing new tools like the StoreX Calculator. This year, we also highlighted key enhancements to KFX in our Spring release, advancements in Kardex's Intuitive Picking Assistant, and our new partnership with Paccurate, all aimed at helping businesses maximize efficiency and accelerate ROI for their AutoStore systems."
