How Receiving Works
Incoming pallets (unit loads) and cases are unloaded and verified against manifests and purchase orders.
Items are inspected for quality, quantity, and damage.
If necessary, items are removed from original packaging (detrash) and placed in totes for storage in high-density buffers.
Items are directed to the most optimal storage location or dispatch area (cross-dock).
Returns Handling
-
Dematic returns handling solutions process items quickly and efficiently so you can restore salable merchandise to primary or short-term storage, depending on demand.
Dematic software guides each process and reduces the labor associated with processing inbound handling materials. It also facilitates inspection and reconditioning workflows before items are returned to stock. Finally, the software directs the workflow and ensures that items are returned to inventory accurately — whether for storage or sending back to a store.
returns-handling-1.jpg
How Returns Handling Works
Operators open the incoming packages and check each item against the expected receipt.
Items may undergo a detailed inspection and reconditioning (repack, labeling, etc.) before they can be returned to stock.
Salable products are returned to the primary storage locations or, if in high demand, placed in high-density short-term buffers for rapid fulfillment of incoming orders.
Cross-Docking
-
When cross-docking, Dematic solutions eliminate costly, space-intensive storage of inbound products. Whether you’re moving pallets of product or sorting high volumes of incoming cartons/cases to outbound trailers, Dematic has the cost-effective solution for fast, accurate cross docking.
Dematic software fully automates sortation by adjusting equipment speed depending on demand and volume. The result is an energy-efficient solution that reduces equipment wear and minimizes labor costs.

They safely and securely increase process efficiency and improve business profitability — all without human intervention.
Typical AGV applications include:
Transport from receiving to production/warehouse
Transport between production areas/work-in-process buffers
Transport between production areas and warehouse areas
Stacking and storing (very narrow aisle, wide aisle and drive-in racking, deep stacking, block storage)
Roll handling
End-of-line automation (packing machines, palletizers, stretch wrappers)
Transport in consolidation and dispatch areas
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
-
AMRs are industrial robots that lift and transport materials in your facility. Dematic AMRs safely navigate around people, equipment, and inventory by reading QR codes on the facility floor or by using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to sense surroundings and obstructions.
Typical AMR applications include:
Moving pallets between functional areas (receiving to storage, picking to shipping)
Line-side supply and delivery
What is the difference between an AMRs & AGVs?
AMRs are similar to AGVs, but with two major exceptions:AMRs typically move lighter loads faster.
AMRs are more adaptable, especially when selecting routes and avoiding obstacles.
AMRs open up expanses of warehouse space typically consumed by conveyors.

Products
Automated Guided Vehicles - AGV Systems
- Whether your goal is reduced labor costs, higher order throughput, increased accuracy, greater productivity, or all the above, you’ve come to the right place. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are driverless robots used to transport materials in warehouses, distribution centers (DCs), and manufacturing facilities using designated pickup and delivery routines.
Counterbalance AGVs
- Counterbalance AGVs have counterweights at the rear of the vehicle to eliminate the need for support legs around loads (such as with Straddle AGVs). This allows the lift mast to be integrated at the front, which keeps the AGV clear of the load. Counterbalance AGVs typically replace repetitive manual forklift tasks for all single, double, or quadruple pallet applications.
Straddle AGVs
- Straddle AGVs are designed to replace repetitive manual forklift tasks. They have support legs that straddle loads with various fork designs and a slim body that provides a tight turning radius. This design allows Straddle AGVs to work in a diversity of areas and carry multiple pallets.
High-Reach AGVs
- High-Reach AGVs are designed specifically for high-bay single selective and double-deep racking, with a reach up to 10 meters. As an ideal alternative to fixed cranes in Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RSs), High-Reach AGVs are best used for put-away and retrieval and interfacing with manual operations.
Very Narrow Aisle AGVs
- Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) AGVs operate in narrow aisles between pallet racking. VNA AGVs operate freely in and out to bring added flexibility to operations requiring high storage density. They require less room, so more floorspace is available footprint to be dedicated to storage.
Tugger AGVs
- Tugger AGVs pull carts to transport multiple loads throughout a facility. The carts receive loads onto their inbuilt rollers either manually or automatically and are linked to the AGV with an actuated hitch. Tugger AGVs have the highest capacity for material transport among AGV types and considerably more capacity than traditional forklifts.
Load Deck AGVs
- Load Deck AGVs move unit loads between workstations in a production environment or between warehouse and production facilities. Load Deck AGVs can typically carry from one to eight unit loads to and from conveyors, stands, end-of-line equipment (palletizers, wrappers, robots), or AS/RSs.
Compact Transfer AGVs
- Compact Transfer AGVs transport materials by point-to-point transfers or between conveyors and production lines. They use lift or belt conveyor transfers, depending on the type of equipment and loads they need to handle. They have the smallest space requirements among AGVs to accommodate requirements for tighter turning circles, narrower pathways, and smaller charging areas.
Custom AGVs
- Custom AGVs are tailored to precisely meet any unique business needs to serve specific requirements for a configured solution. And even though they are customized, they can be built from reliable, off-the-shelf components to ensure easy service and support.

Solves
Difficult/Dangerous Work: Manual depalletizing is intense labor that leads to back strain, fatigue, and high employee turnover rates.
Labor Scarcity: Can’t always find enough qualified workers to fill demand.
System overview
The Dematic Robotic Depalletizer module provides automatic unstacking of homogeneous (box size pure) carton pallets or rainbow pallets onto a belted outbound conveyor. The empty pallet is then automatically conveyed out of the cell.
The Dematic Robotic Depalletizer module is available in two variants:
Single Channel: Uses a single inbound and a single outbound conveyor line
Dual channel: Uses two inbound conveyor lines plus either one or two outbound conveyor lines
Depending on the flow of material in the facility, the orientation and direction of flow can be configured in these ways:Material can flow clockwise or counterclockwise
Material can enter and then exit from left or right of the robot
Infeed conveyors and outfeed conveyors can be placed on either side of each other
