Fourth award picked up
18 February 2015
Material handling company Crown recently gained its fourth award for the GPC 3000 order picker with QuickPick Remote by winning its 14th GOOD DESIGN Award from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Honouring the remote glove technology for order picking, the award programme recognised Crown for its dedication to design that challenges traditional thinking. Crown’s approach to design focuses on ideas for improving lift truck operator productivity and safety.
In developing the Crown GPC order picker series, the company leveraged research showing that operator time spent off the forklift can be as much as 90% of the picking cycle. To help reduce fatigue and improve productivity, Crown designed its GPC order picker with QuickPick Remote technology to advance to the next picking location with the touch of a button on the glove-mounted wireless remote, removing the need for operators to climb repeatedly on and off the truck’s platform and keeping their hands free for actual order picking.
