Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, & Georgia’s GTP Robotics Resource
Bailey proudly offers Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and Georgia clients GTP robotics solutions to ensure they have the goods-to-person picking system they need for optimal operations. Our company is well-versed in how warehouses and other commercial facilities process orders and stay productive. Specialized equipment is the backbone of these operations, and GTP warehouse automation is vital to these businesses’ success. Goods-to-person systems reduce picking times and improve accuracy, so you don’t waste time with outdated picking methods.
Person-to-Goods vs Good-to-Person
Goods-to-person (GTP) systems streamline warehouse operations by delivering items directly to workers using either stationary setups or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). This approach allows team members to stay at their workstations while receiving the products needed to fulfill orders. In contrast, person-to-goods methods require employees to walk through storage areas or retail spaces, picking items by hand and transporting them to packing zones. Many of today’s AMR technologies still rely on this traditional model, functioning as intelligent carts guided by software to assist with manual picking tasks. Every commercial setting has a system that works best for its operations. However, if you need to upgrade your picking process, we recommend investing in a goods-to-person picking system.

What Should I Consider When Investing in GTP Automation?
Bailey’s extensive collection of warehouse, industrial, and commercial technologies covers a broad range of production needs, including forklifts and sortation systems. However, purchasing equipment without a direct purpose may be a waste of valuable time, funds, and commercial space. You want to ensure your investment in production advancements matches your operational needs and enhances your capabilities. Making informed choices about stocking your warehouse involves many considerations, and goods-to-person picking systems are no exception. We urge you to consider the following points when you look into various goods-to-person equipment and system automation configurations:
-
01
Evaluate current throughput levels and projected future volumes to ensure the system can handle demand without bottlenecks
-
02
Account for seasonal spikes in activity, such as holiday rushes or promotional periods, to maintain performance during peak times
-
03
Consider the available square footage and how your facility is laid out to determine the best fit for automation and workflow efficiency
-
04
Inspect the condition, thickness, and flatness of your concrete slab to confirm it can support robotic systems and heavy equipment
-
05
Review how well the proposed automation can integrate with your existing technologies and software platforms to avoid compatibility issues
-
06
Align automation plans with long-term business goals, including expansion, product diversification, and evolving customer expectations
What Industry Types Can GTP Automation Benefit?
Goods-to-person fulfillment setups are now used across a broad range of warehouse and order processing environments.
