SnapCart - an extension of SnapFulfil - is designed to help small parts picking and eCommerce fulfilment centres streamline their current picking operations. Warehouses can adopt SnapCart without making any costly infrastructure changes.

An upgrade to standard “man-to-goods” models, SnapCart works side by side with manual carts and operates under a cellular picking model. Warehouse pickers are assigned to smaller cells, which are serviced by an autonomous cart working on a pick-to-light system. This allows the carts to do the majority of aisle movement, reducing pickers’ daily walking distance significantly, from as much as 15 miles to 1 mile.

With its easy-to-use interface, warehouse workers can be trained on the solution within minutes, so operations aren’t disrupted for wide-scale implementation. Warehouses also have the flexibility of purchasing SnapCart for the entire warehouse, or adding carts as needed, allowing for both scalability and start-up cost management.

The product serves SnapFulfil’s mission of providing innovative technology that can be practically implemented in warehouses of all sizes. SnapFulfil teamed with top university robotics departments to fit the SnapCart with navigation technology best suited for the warehouse environment, providing safe and efficient manoeuvring around the warehouse.
