Goods-to-Person 1-to-1 Workstations: Maximize Picking Speed, Accuracy, & Ergonomics

As warehouse operations face increasing pressure for faster fulfillment and improved working conditions, goods-to-person automation delivers the performance edge you need. SAVOYE North America’s 1-to-1 stations, powered by AiRVOS™ WES, X-PTS® shuttles, and INTELIS® conveyors, can increase picking productivity by up to 5x compared to manual methods—while achieving 99.9%+ accuracy. Each source tote feeds a single destination, reducing cognitive load and ensuring faster, error-free picks across industries from office supplies to e-commerce fulfillment.

What Is a 1-to-1 GTP Preparation Station?

GTP picking station Savoye

A 1-to-1 preparation station is a specialized goods-to-person (GTP) workstation where items from a single source tote are picked and placed directly into one destination tote or order container. This focused design streamlines warehouse picking operations by eliminating the complexity of managing multiple orders at once—reducing cognitive load, errors, and operator fatigue.

At SAVOYE North America, our 1-to-1 GTP stations are engineered for seamless integration with X-PTS® shuttle systems, INTELIS® conveyors, and the AiRVOS™ warehouse execution system (WES)—as well as with third-party automation and material handling equipment. The result is a continuous, high-performance picking flow that enhances speed, accuracy, and overall warehouse productivity.

In contrast, multi-order (1-to-many) stations require operators to juggle several destinations, increasing complexity and the risk of mistakes. Here's a quick comparison:

Feature 1-to-1 GTP Stations Manual Picking
Process Complexity Streamlined, guided workflow from one source tote to one destination Complex-operators walk, search and handle multiple items
Picking Speed Up to 5x faster with automated item delivery Limited by walking distance and manual search time
Accuracy 99.9% with system-guided picks and confirmations Higher risk of mispicks and order error
Enhanced Ergonomics for Warehouse Teams

Comfort That Drives Consistency and Performance

At SAVOYE North America, our 1-to-1 goods-to-person stations boost productivity while supporting operator well-being. Intuitive HMIs, visual guidance, and single-flow picking streamline tasks, reduce errors, and help employees work smarter. Adjustable workstation heights, tote tilting, and clear indicators minimize strain and shorten onboarding from weeks to hours.

For employers, this means higher engagement, lower turnover, and consistent performance across shifts. With SAVOYE’s X-PTS® shuttle technology, stations achieve fast, accurate picks—up to 99.9%—with average rates far exceeding manual operations.

Key Performance Highlights:

  • Pick Rates: 350-1,000 lines/hour (depending on configuration)
  • Accuracy: Up to 99.9%
  • Ergonomic Impact: Adjustable, tilt-enabled stations reduce strain and improve cycle times

When to Choose 1-to-1 vs. Other GTP Options: Finding the Right Fit for Your Fulfillment Strategy

SAVOYE North America’s 1-to-1 goods-to-person stations are best suited for operations handling high SKU variety and frequent order changes, where accuracy, speed, and ease of training are critical. These systems are particularly valuable for industries like office supplies, e-commerce, and spare parts, where operators must manage diverse product mixes while maintaining strict SLAs.

For high-volume batching or repetitive order patterns, multi-order GTP stations can deliver greater throughput efficiency. Meanwhile, AMR-based solutions provide flexible fulfillment for dynamic or space-constrained layouts.

SAVOYE’s flow analysis and simulation tools help determine the best-fit configuration—whether 1-to-1, 1-to-many, or hybrid designs powered by X-PTS® shuttle systems and AiRVOS™ WES.

With warehouse automation adoption projected to reach only 13% by 2030, selecting the right GTP setup today is a competitive advantage that drives future scalability and labor efficiency.
