Kitting & Sequencing Automation | Bastian Automation

Smarter, Faster, More Accurate Manufacturing Support

Kitting and sequencing have become essential processes for manufacturers facing increasing product variation, tighter floor space, and the need for precise, just‑in‑time component delivery. Our kitting and sequencing solutions support both labor‑driven and automated operations by improving accuracy, reducing errors and waste, and simplifying inventory management.

Designed for reliability and repeatability, our systems give manufacturers the speed, consistency, and clarity required for high‑performance assembly.

Ready to optimize your kitting and sequencing workflows?

Automated Kitting Systems

Automate the gathering and preparation of components with systems that guide operators or robots to pick the right parts every time. Reduce manual labor while improving accuracy, kit completeness, and production cycles.

Automated Storage for Kitting

Use automated storage systems such as cranes, pallet shuttles, VLMs and goods‑to‑person technologies to store assembled kits until they’re needed. This approach minimizes floor space, increases organization, and supports lean manufacturing.

Sequencing & Just‑In‑Time Delivery

Ensure kits arrive at the correct assembly station at the exact right moment. Automated sequencing improves speed, reduces line‑side clutter, and supports JIT manufacturing for maximum production efficiency.

Automated Verification Systems

Minimize errors with automated weight checks, barcode scans, and pick‑to‑light/pick‑to‑voice verification. These systems ensure every kit is complete, accurate, and production‑ready.

Kit Transport & Delivery Systems

Conveyor systems and autonomous vehicles move completed kits from storage to assembly stations. Automating this handoff increases speed, reduces labor, and keeps production lines supplied without interruption.

Robotic Buffering & Sequencing

Dynamically stage, organize, and release products while maximizing floor space and throughput. Robotic buffering reduces labor demands, improves order accuracy, and replaces inflexible storage systems.

What are the main benefits of kitting automation?

Benefits include optimized storage, faster production, standardized processes, better inventory management, and higher profitability through reduced labor and improved flow.

What technologies support automated kitting and sequencing?

Automated picking systems, goods‑to‑person storage systems, vertical lift modules (VLMs), robotic picking systems, verification tools (inline scales, scanners and pick verification), conveyor systems, and autonomous vehicles all support accurate and timely kit preparation, storage, and delivery.

What benefits does kitting offer to manufacturing operations?

Kitting improves efficiency by providing operators with all needed components in one kit, reducing walking and search time. It also enhances inventory management, supports standardized processes, reduces storage needs, and helps increase overall profitability through more efficient production.

How does kitting automation support manufacturers with limited floor space?

By bundling components together and storing them in high-density automated storage systems, kitting automation minimizes the storage footprint required for individual parts. This helps manufacturers running lean operations reduce clutter and optimize available space.

How does automated kitting improve inventory management?

Kitting simplifies inventory control by grouping components under a single SKU and leveraging real‑time tracking systems that monitor usage, predict material requirements, and help prevent production interruptions.
