Bottlenecks are a real problem in order fulfillment and distribution centers worldwide, draining profits with added labor and delivery time. Distribution centers realize gains in productivity and profitability when continuous order flow occurs throughout the entire pick, pack and ship process. Eliminating bottlenecks in order fulfillment provides many advantages which allow companies to maximize productivity and profitability.
How to Improve Order Picking with Voice Technology Voice picking technology drastically improves the picking process by giving operators clear to understand voice commands, directing them through the most optimized path flow. With the latest generation of voice picking software, little to no training is required and operators are up and running, productive in minutes. No time is wasted searching for items, backtracking or picking the wrong item with automatic scanning for item and quantity verification. Hands free picking with a wearable headset eliminates the need to scan items or cartons with one hand, drastically improving picking rates. Improve Packing and Shipping in Order Fulfillment Increasing picking rates with voice picking could create bottlenecks in the shipping area if automation is not considered for continuous order flow. Distribution centers which implement voice picking combined with additional automated technologies in the pack and ship function realize maximum benefits. Implementing automated packing operations such as print and apply labeling increases efficiency and accuracy while reducing labor expenses. Print and apply labeling systems automatically apply the right labels to cartons as they flow through an automated conveyor system, eliminating the need for manual application of packing slips and shipping labels. Automated scanning for verification of carton weight and dimension improves shipping functions by eliminating errors which incur chargebacks from freight companies. Distribution centers which implement these automated solutions eliminated bottlenecks in order fulfillment operations.
