Electronics & Components
Electronics and components operations aren’t struggling with throughput—they’re struggling with organization. When you have thousands of small parts, the problem isn’t picking speed. It’s finding the right component instantly.
Key benefits:
- Instant part location
- Organization at scale
- Batch traceability
- High-density storage
Common challenges
What you feel day-to-day
- • Thousands of small components difficult to locate quickly
- • Parts scattered across bins, drawers, and shelves
- • Time wasted searching for specific part numbers
- • Batch and serial number traceability requirements
- • ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive components
- • Obsolescence management with slow-moving inventory
- • Kitting for production or service orders
What's really happening
The constraint isn't always "how fast can someone work" — it's how much time is wasted traveling, searching, and managing complexity.
When operators spend most of their shift walking between pick faces, searching for locations, or handling constant variability, throughput drops and errors increase.
Goods-to-Person removes travel time and makes each cycle consistent, predictable, and measurable.
Why Shelfbot fits
Organization, not just throughput
Electronics isn't about picking faster—it's about finding parts instantly. Shelfbot eliminates search time by bringing the exact bin to you on demand.
Thousands of SKUs stay manageable
Store components in high-density bins with full traceability. System knows exactly where every part number lives.
Batch and serial tracking built in
Track components by batch, date code, or serial number. Critical for traceability and obsolescence management.
Controlled access for ESD protection
Components stored in controlled bins, retrieved only when needed. Reduces handling and ESD exposure.
Typical use cases
- • Electronic components storage and retrieval
- • Spare parts and service inventory
- • Production kitting with complex BOMs
- • RMA and returns processing with serial tracking
- • Obsolete and end-of-life inventory management
- • Distributor small-parts fulfillment
What success looks like
Zero time searching for part numbers
Full traceability for batches and date codes
Higher storage density for small components
Organized system that scales to 10,000+ SKUs
Reduced handling and ESD risk
Faster kitting and order fulfillment
What we'll ask in discovery
- • How many component SKUs do you manage?
- • What's your current method for locating parts?
- • Do you require batch or serial number traceability?
- • Any ESD-sensitive components requiring special handling?
- • What percentage are slow movers vs. active components?
- • Do you kit components for production or service orders?
- • How do you manage obsolescence and end-of-life inventory?
Fastest next step
If you can share a SKU master (with stock on hand) plus outbound order history, we can quickly estimate bins required, storage coverage, aisle count, and robots/stations needed.
