Voice Directed Technology

  – a new level of efficiency for picking operations –
 
       

Voice technology uses speech recognition to allow workers to receive instructions and confirm their actions directly to the warehouse management system (WMS)

Voice directed picking greatly improves productivity, accuracy and order management practices; providing an excellent return on your investment whether your warehouse operations involve order fulfillment, 3PL, or returns processing .

By providing eyes-free, hands-free operation, workers are able to perform tasks without being encumbered by order picking documents, RF handheld terminal, or even a task complete button. Voice Directed Picking operates in real-time with the host / WMS via an RF interface.

These Systems are designed to service split case and full case products, making them an excellent and flexible choice in order fulfillment systems and returns logistics systems. The biggest benefits are typically obtained in low margin, high volume , and labor intensive case or piece picking operations
