Kirin Group Introduces Automatic Picking Solution Using ΣSynX® at Ebina Distribution Center

In December 2024, an automatic picking solution using ΣSynX® (Sigma Syncs) went into operation at the Ebina Distribution Center (Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture) managed by East Japan Regional Office, Shonan Branch of Kirin Group Logistics.

At the center, 4 unmanned forklifts, 11 AGVs, and 1 picking robot operate under integrated control of ΣSynX, which automates picking and material handling operation that had previously been performed by human workers.

Case Study - Kirin — Implementation at the Center

When introducing our solution, a part of the manned picking area was designated as an automated area, and about half of the cases handled at the center per day are now subject to automated picking. In the future, we plan to gradually increase the volume of shipments using this solution.
