The challenge
Their supply chain is undergoing a transformation. Customers are not just looking for next day delivery, they often need same day delivery - with average orders getting smaller.
The solution
Using conventional conveyor technologies, voice pick technology, and Dematic’s leading warehouse control software for picking (PickDirector) and conveyor routing/sortation (SortDirector), pick cartons are routed automatically to the pick zones with active picks. This automation reduces worker downtime and creates an ergonomic pick environment (and interface) that reduces stress and improves accuracy.
The results are in
By optimizing the benefits of voice pick technology with zone routing conveyor, picking productivity increased double digit for some operations, and Quality Control stations have been eliminated due to 99.82 percent order picking accuracy.
