Order Release Module (ORM)
The Order Release Module (ORM) is a fully automated order picking system for various types of packages, such as boxes, bins, and trays. These items are buffered and sorted within the module at very high retrieval speeds. The ORM features an extremely compact structure. Products are buffered on Friction-Drive™ roller conveyors within the ORM. Each of these Friction-Drive™ roller conveyors are equipped with a stopper/release system (dispenser) that discharges products at high speed, in any sequence and quantity, and transports them to one or more palletizing units or roll container filling stations.
The ORM differs from other “full case” order picking systems due to the following specific characteristics:
- High capacity: Handles 5,000-8,000 packages per hour, depending on the ORM configuration.
- Compact structure: Saves 20-30% more space compared to miniload or shuttle systems.
- Low energy consumption: Utilizes a patented drive concept with a low number of drives, among other factors.
- Dynamic assignment of buffer lanes: All buffer channels are identical and suitable for all types of products, regardless of their package shape and weight.
- Very low maintenance costs: Annual maintenance costs are less than 1% of the total investment.
- Simultaneous and independent retrieval and replenishment processes: These processes run concurrently without affecting each other.
ORM Storage Methods
We offer different solutions depending on the replenishment strategy:
- DLS Trolley: Used for the infeed of single SKU batches, ideal for single SKU buffer lanes.
- Crossbelt sorter or 90-degree diverts: Used for the random infeed of cases (multiple SKUs per lane), suitable for mixed SKU buffer lanes, dispatch buffers, or buffering customer orders in lanes.
We are happy to help!
