Cross-Docking Systems
Efficient handling solutions to reduce costs in warehousing & distribution.
Cross-Docking Cells from Axiom
A Cross-docking material handling system reduces labour and storage requirements. This then reduces distribution costs where bulk sorting of product is required.
Cross-docking order fulfilment is applicable to wholesalers, courier companies, and other transfer points for products and packages. For example, 3pl’s, where pallets or bins of a product are presented and need to be split into multiple destinations or orders.
An Axiom Cross-Docking Cell is designed using proven components to meet specific requirements for a complete material handling solution.
Axiom will supply the complete solution including a WCS system to interface to the customers’ ERP or WMS software.
Key Features of Cross Docking Cells
A cross-docking cell typically combines the following elements to make a cell:
- Conveyors: The backbone of most cells, Axiom will ensure the optimum lengths and types are used.
- Product Identification:
- Use automated code scanning to identify the product.
- Use a full DWS system to identify the product and supply real size & weight data for ongoing shipping optimisation and comparison against supplier data.
- Sortation: The method to separate the packages from a single infeed stream to the required outfeed dock for the onward shipping.
- Labelling: Automated print + apply the new onward shipping label.
- End-of-Line: Automate the palletisation of the sorted product.
