What Is GTP?
GTP (Goods-to-Person) is a picking method where automated equipment brings goods to the worker, instead of the worker traveling to find items.
The Inefficiency of Traditional Picking
In the traditional Person-to-Goods approach, workers spend 60-70% of their picking time traveling.
GTP Implementation Methods
Miniload AS/RS
An automated storage and retrieval system that automatically retrieves totes/boxes and delivers them to picking stations.
Shuttle System
Shuttles on each level pick up totes and transport them to picking stations via lifts.
Cube Storage
Robots move across a grid, vertically stacking and retrieving bins in a high-density storage system. Offers exceptional space efficiency.
AMR-Based GTP
AMRs carry entire shelving units to the worker for picking.
Expected Benefits
With GTP system deployment:
