This results in: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>strenuous physical activity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>greater risk of injury;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>variability in performance;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fatigue and a drop in productivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erreviautomation.com\/en\/solutions\/goods-to-person\/skypod-system-by-exotec\/\">Skypod by Exotec<\/a>, each workstation can process orders at a rate of up to 600 containers per hour. Thanks to advanced features such as the management of work-in-progress orders and an ergonomic design, the Skypod\u00ae workstation boosts productivity, reduces errors and adapts to ever-changing operational requirements. <\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"exotecs-role-in-warehouse-ergonomics\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3e5f3d407437e4fcf307a5c4ea02ae81\">Exotec\u2019s role in warehouse ergonomics<\/h2>\n\n<p>The system developed by Exotec is based on a fleet of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erreviautomation.com\/en\/solutions\/goods-to-person\/amr\/\">mobile robots<\/a> operating within high-density<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erreviautomation.com\/en\/optimise-warehouse-storage-revamping-programme\/\"> storage<\/a> facilities.

productivity without increasing the physical strain<\/h2>\n\n<p>One of the main advantages of smart automation is its ability to improve performance without compromising working conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p>In robotics-based systems such as Exotec, it is possible to achieve:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>greater operational throughput;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>efficient management of thousands of SKUs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>faster order fulfilment times;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduction in the physical strain on operators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This means that business growth no longer depends on a proportional increase in human effort.<\/p>\n\n<p>At Exotec, the picking and packing process involves selecting items from the warehouse according to customer orders and packing them immediately into shipping containers directly at the workstation, without the need for additional equipment.<\/p>\n\n<p>The innovative workstation design improves efficiency by eliminating redundant steps, reduces handling times by enabling picking and packing directly on the robots, and ensures faster order fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can also find out more about the role of <a
