Pick and Place Robots in Kansas City
Rapid and Trouble-Free Order Fulfillment Automation
Pick & Place Machine Automation
While there is no such thing as a standard pick and place machine, they all share common traits. Pick and place robotics integrate various storage solutions inside multi-tier work platforms that move product efficiently through a distribution facility. Versatile, high-density pick and place modules (also known as pick and package) can be scaled to the needs of your facility, regardless of the industry.
The robotics produce faster picking in less space than floor level storage. This results in significant cost savings for picking and packaging functions. The automation reduces wasted “walk time” for pickers, who are situated in areas where they spend more time picking orders and less time finding SKU’s.
How Does Pick & Pack Automation Work?
Your customers expect rapid, trouble-free order fulfillment. To provide it, you need a tightly controlled solution that provides efficient storage, retrieval and fast delivery – pick and place modules. We can help you create exactly the right module for your needs.
Enforce First-In/First-Out Inventory Picking
Replenish inventory from the load side and your pickers are always presented product in the order you want it picked.
Save Space in Your Facility
Saving space delays having to move to larger facilities or the need for wholesale redesign because pick and pack modules open up floor space to other uses.
Reduce Labor Cost
It’s pretty easy to see that when you concentrate storage and picking operations, you eliminate nonproductive “walk” time.
Manage Inventory More Efficiently
Pick and pack machines can be integrated with software to keep more accurate inventory.

Pick and Place Automation FAQs
What is a pick and place (pick and pack) robotic system, and how does it work?
A pick and place robotic system automates the process of selecting, moving, and placing products for order fulfillment or packaging. These systems use robotic arms, conveyors, sensors, and software to retrieve items from high-density storage modules and deliver them directly to packing or shipping stations, reducing manual handling and improving accuracy.
What types of facilities benefit most from pick and place automation?
Pick and place automation is ideal for high-volume, high-throughput distribution centers, fulfillment warehouses, and manufacturing operations. However, even smaller or growing facilities can benefit from compact, scalable pick and pack systems that reduce labor demands, improve space utilization, and increase order processing speed.
How does pick and place automation improve efficiency and reduce costs?
Pick and place robots significantly reduce labor costs by eliminating wasted walk time and manual searching for SKUs. By consolidating picking and packing into vertical, multi-tier systems, facilities can process more orders in less space, improve throughput, and lower long-term operational costs.
Is there a standard pick and place robot, or are systems custom-designed?
There is no single standard pick and place machine. Each system is designed around the specific needs of your operation, including product type, order volume, available space, and workflow requirements. TW Automation specializes in designing and integrating custom pick and place solutions that align with your facility’s goals and future growth.
Can pick and place systems integrate with existing controls and HMI software?
Yes, modern pick and place systems can be fully integrated with your existing automation infrastructure, including PLCs, warehouse management systems, and custom HMI interfaces. Proper HMI programming allows operators to monitor system performance, manage orders, and troubleshoot issues quickly, ensuring smooth day-to-day operation.
Made in America
US manufacturing continues to gain strength, but there is no rising tide to lift every boat. Defending what you’ve got while seizing new opportunities requires escalating levels of manufacturing efficiency and flexibility. That’s where we come in. TW Automation builds robotic solutions for managing and growing your business. We’ve been delivering turn-key robotic solutions, along with a full range of technical and support services, since 1996.
How Can Pick & Place Automation Enhance Your Business?
A pick and package system is often the best choice for a high-volume, high throughput distribution center operation. That said, even the most simple operations can benefit from the versatility and efficiencies created by installing a pick and place system of smaller scale.
Take a look at your facilities and imagine consolidating picking/packing areas that sprawl across your facility into half (or less) the space, and actually improving your efficiency. The good thing is, this isn’t a high-tech or overly complex concept. TW Automation can help you navigate the pros and cons of integrating pick and place automation in your facility.
