Maximize picker productivity with increased pick rates and greater accuracy by using SINTHESIS™ Manual Order Fulfillment Modules. This comprehensive group of software modules directs manual picking tasks for pick-to-paper, pick-to-light, RF-directed picking, and other computer-directed picking techniques. Sequencing of items to be picked is pre-determined, confirmation of correct picks or variances is established, and corrective actions are indicated to respond to and resolve potential fulfillment discrepancies immediately. Integrated with a full line of extendible modules, SINTHESIS software creates dynamic order fulfillment processes, from order receipt through order shipment, for distribution centers that provide full-case and split-case, item-oriented fulfillment. Each SINTHESIS module can be further customized to deliver even greater productivity in your particular application.
