Zone Picking with ASRS

With a reputation for groundbreaking tractor and utility vehicles, Kubota’s parts promise is what keeps customers coming back. Kubota’s 60,000 square foot part center in Markham, Ontario has steadily grown to over 78,000 SKUs. Kubota now uses a pick and pass strategy with three picking zones, two of which are automated for maximum efficiency. Six HCMs manage the fast-moving SKUs; four Shuttle XPs manage the medium moving SKUs and the slower moving SKUs are stored in hi-bay shelving.
