Technological evolution has contributed to major changes in the world of logistics and the way companies manage operations within their warehouses. One of the most widely used approaches that is spreading with great success is the application of the Goods-to-person (GTP) who reinvented the relationship of man-business interaction bringing important benefits and limiting exhausting manual processes and errors in operations.
GTP is therefore fostering new outlets in the logistics sector by promoting an increasingly efficient management of the flow of goods. How does this solution affect shipping, storage and delivery times and what are the benefits?

Goods to person advantages
The solution Goods to person made major improvements in logistics, including:
- increased productivity;
- the reduction of operator movements within the warehouse;
- better management in terms of goods handling, which leads to an increase in the speed of order processing, thus ensuring a higher level of customer satisfaction;
- shorter deadlines;
- reduction of human errors.
The fusion of operator and automation work is the real strength of the solution Goods-to-person. In this view, the traditional concept of the supply chain is surpassed as it is the technology that works in perfect harmony with the operator.
In fact, technology and artificial intelligence represent a not inconsiderable support to the operations carried out by the operator both in terms of precision and product traceability, thus eliminating the limitation of relying on operations carried out manually. Before the introduction of the Goods-to-person, in addition, operators were often required to lift heavy loads and perform strenuous activities, causing fatigue or injuries related to physical exertion. Today, GTP emerges as a possible solution for improving the well-being of workers but also of enhancing the interior spaces of the warehouse as products are picked and delivered directly without the need for large storage spaces.
It can therefore be said that the Goods-to-person revolutionised the logistics sector in several respects.
Solutions Goods to person
1. AMR: The Future of Goods Handling
The autonomous mobile robots or AMR collaborate with warehouse operators in the handling of goods for the picking, replenishment or moving more generally. The operations they can perform are varied, for example, moving boxes or parcels, pallets, racks and racks between the various areas of moving activity that take place within a warehouse.
Operating autonomously, the AMR do not require dedicated infrastructure, but integrate seamlessly into the existing warehouse layout, adapting dynamically to changes in the environment in which they operate, even in the presence of operators.
Errevi offers and integrates a wide range of AMR depending on the characteristics of the product to be handled, such as type of load unit, weight and dimensions.
Skypod by Exotec: the solution that revolutionises your warehouse
Another solution goods to person is represented by Skypod® by Exoteca high-density automated storage handling system (AS/RS) that uses robotics to offer the best performance on the market while remaining highly flexible, modular and scalable. The system Skypod® reduces the risks associated with foot traffic in the warehouse and improves drastically productivity.
The Skypod® It also assists operators in preparing orders by transporting goods stored in containers or trays between our racking and picking stations.

The miniloadwith its advanced storage and automated collection, is rapidly gaining ground as a first-class solution for improving goods handling operations in warehouses in various industries. This solution has proven to be the ideal choice for companies aiming to maximise efficiency, minimise errors and increase operational flexibility. The miniload is revolutionising several sectors, including e-commerce, manufacturing and industrial automation.
Mini-load is therefore not only an option to improve warehouse management, but has become a benchmark for many industries. Its flexibility and its ability to adapt to the specific needs of various sectors make it a highly competitive solution. Regardless of the field in which you operate, the miniload offers a significant advantage in terms of efficiency, reduced operating costs and customer satisfaction.
Towards the future with automated solutions
The system Goods-to-person represents a significant step forward in the management of logistics warehouses. Its ability to improve efficiency, reduce errors and increase productivity makes it a very good choice for many companies operating in a highly competitive environment. However, it is important to remember that the implementation of the G2P requires significant investment and careful planning. As technology evolves and the demand for fast and efficient shipping increases, the Goods-to-person is set to become increasingly popular.
With this in mind, Errevi Automation is the ideal partner to guide you through this revolution, providing state-of-the-art solutions to suit your specific needs. In the following articles, we will explore AMR, Skypod® by Exotec and Miniload in detail, revealing how these solutions are redefining the future of logistics and thewarehouse automation.
