Warehouse Automation & Integration

Automation Built Around Your Workflow

We build modular automation solutions that speed up picking, sorting, storage, and order fulfillment. Automation only delivers value when it supports your real workflow. We start with a review of order profiles, product mix, labor needs, and service level targets to find the right mix of technology. In many cases, that means adding focused automation to key pain points instead of replacing everything at once.

Automation Built Around Your Workflow

Engineered to improve picking, sorting, storage, and order fulfillment by supporting the way your operation actually works.

Complete Modular Automation Systems

We design and build complete warehouse automation and integration systems that can include robotics, AS/RS storage, automated conveyor, sensors, control hardware, and warehouse execution or management software. Our goal is to reduce manual touches, improve accuracy, and create repeatable processes that are easy to train and maintain. Because SJF has decades of experience (since 1979) working with both large distribution operations and smaller facilities, our professionals know what works in the real world.

Smart Sortation and Routing

For sortation and routing needs, we develop automated systems that direct cartons, totes, or pallets to the right lane or zone. These systems support shipping, returns, value-add work, and multi-channel order processing. We tailor sortation technology - from high-speed unit sorters to specialized diverts and cross-belt sorters - to your volume and complexity.

We design them to integrate seamlessly with your existing conveyor and storage systems wherever possible.

High-Density and Intelligent Storage Solutions

We also focus on smart storage solutions that keep more product within easy reach. That may include shuttle systems, vertical storage, dense storage paired with goods-to-person picking, and other high-density designs. Our team considers how walking, bending, reaching, and retrieval times can be reduced so your workforce stays productive and safe.

Scalable Order Fulfillment Technologies

Advanced order fulfillment tools, such as goods-to-person systems, collaborative robots, pick modules, and WMS or warehouse control system integration, can be added as your volume grows and your needs evolve. We help you match these tools to your specific order patterns and space constraints, so you don't overbuild or under build.

Controls, Software, and System Integration

Our team handles PLC programming, warehouse control system design, user interface configuration, and system testing to make sure hardware and software work together as planned. We link sensors, conveyors, scanners, automation devices, and your WMS or software platform so the full workflow is integrated end-to-end.

After the build, we provide on-site implementation, testing, training, and support so your staff can operate and maintain the system confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does warehouse automation and integration include?

    Warehouse automation and integration can include robotics, AS/RS storage, automated conveyor, sensors, control hardware, and warehouse execution or management software. We design systems around your actual workflow rather than automating everything at once, often starting with focused automation at key pain points.

  • Do you offer sortation and routing systems?

    Yes. We develop automated sortation systems that direct cartons, totes, or pallets to the right lane or zone, using anything from high-speed unit sorters to specialized diverts and cross-belt sorters, matched to your volume and complexity.

  • What high-density storage options do you offer?

    We offer shuttle systems, vertical storage, and dense storage paired with goods-to-person picking, designed to reduce walking, bending, reaching, and retrieval time so your workforce stays productive.

  • Can order fulfillment automation grow with our business?

    Yes. Order fulfillment automation like goods-to-person systems, collaborative robots, pick modules, and warehouse control system integration can be added as your volume grows, so you don't overbuild or underbuild for where you are today.

  • Do you design and integrate the warehouse control system?

    Yes. We handle PLC programming, warehouse control system design, user interface configuration, and system testing, linking sensors, conveyors, scanners, and other devices with your WMS or software platform end to end.

  • What support do you provide after an automation system is installed?

    We provide on-site implementation, testing, training, and support after the build, so your staff can operate and maintain the system with confidence.
