Eliminating paper picking labels results in significant cost savings from the paper alone.
Real-time radio communication facilitates immediate stock updates. This enables prompt letdowns to restock picking locations, enhancing warehouse management by optimizing forklift use and reducing re-picks or delays caused by depleted stock. Incorporating cycle counting into the letdown process increases the efficiency of inventory checks. More accurate stock records lead to better service levels and reduced time addressing inventory discrepancies.
Safety is enhanced with hands-free and eyes-free operations, reducing accidents. Paper elimination also decreases waste, such as discarded paper or label backings, contributing to a cleaner and safer warehouse environment.
Voice-directed tasks shorten training times for new pickers, as they are simpler to learn than paper-based tasks, often cutting training duration by half.
Equally important is the ergonomic aspect of work, the dramatic reduction in equipment maintenance costs, and the increase in worker satisfaction.
