Pick-by-Voice represents one of the most significant changes in order fulfillment over the past decade, consistently creating bottom line savings and competitive advantage. It offers numerous advantages over conventional order picking methods such as paper lists or wireless terminals. Rather than communicating visually via paper or computer monitors, Pick-by-Voice relies on voice instructions through headphones and a microphone.
By freeing the operator’s hands to handle the stock items, Pick-by-Voice ensures an ergonomic and efficient pick sequence. With the need to handle wireless data terminals and paper lists eliminated, the order picker can focus entirely on retrieving the required items.
No more manual keying of data or time-consuming scanning of stock locations. Instead, the instructions to and responses from the picker are entirely by voice. Delays caused by the picker having to stop retrieving items in order to enter data into a device are a thing of the past. The operation is streamlined – and productivity increases.
