The story of WITRON’s Order Picking Machinery system (OPM) begins
at Walter Winkler’s coffee table in Parkstein. The breakthrough
came with a cake and a cake server from the WITRON founder. The COM
- the heart of the OPM system was born. Just as a cake lifter
glides under the piece of cake, the COM moves under the items to be
picked and uses them to load pallets and roll containers for the
food retailers’ stores fully automatically, product-gently,
store-friendly, and without errors. More podcasts, reports, videos:
