The Mobile Warehouse: Case Picking

Posted October 19, 2009

 

Avoid Delivery Delays

Even in the most modern distribution facility, case picking can be an error-prone and inefficient process.

And when picking becomes a drain on productivity, a host of problems can arise —from poor accuracy to delivery delays.

Eliminate Errors

In a mobile warehouse, case pickers are armed with devices that provide real-time control, status and scan verification throughout the process.

Utilizing a wearable mobile computer and scanning terminal with voice capability in conjunction with a vehicle-mounted or wearable printer, case picks can be distributed to the picker in real time and printed right on the floor. This eliminates the need for the picker to move back and forth with paperwork. And, all picks can be scan-verified for accuracy, eliminating the possibility of manual paper record errors.
