Creating Logistics Results

Pick-by-Voice:The paperless way to maximize order pickingproductivity, efciency, and accuracy


2/8

Efcient pick sequences

By freeing the operators hands to

handle the stock items, Pick-by-Voice

ensures an ergonomic and efcient 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.

Hearing and speaking

Pick-by-Voice offers you numer-

ous advantages over conventio-

nal orderpicking methods such

as paper lists or wireless termi-

nals. Rather than communicating

visually via paper or computer

monitors, Pick-by-Voice relies

on voice instructions throughheadphones and a microphone.

Voice-directed picking is

catching on:

Outstanding order-picking

performance

Efcient process

High accuracy

Faster ROI

Fewer order picking errors

Higher pick rates and reduced picking

errors are the principal advantages

of Pick-by-Voice as the technology

simplies the picking process while

signicantly increasing the picking

speed. Every required step in the

picking process is issued in easily

understandable and precise voice

instructions. The order picker has both

hands free and can concentrate entirely

on retrieving the items. Cumbersome

manipulation of paper or wireless

terminals is eliminated, reducing the

number of operational steps by up

to 30 percent and increasing pick

speeds accordingly.

The operator can now focus on es-

sential actions, substantially reducing

the error rate. Distracting auxiliary

activities such as data capture via

a wireless terminal or paper lists

are eliminated. Full attention can be

devoted to the picking process.

Voice replaces scanning

Dematics Pick-by-Voice solution

renders manual scanners and order-

picking lists obsolete. The individual

process steps are communicated to

the stockroom employee by voice

instruction through headphones. These

instructions convey precise information

about the stock location, item and

quantity. The picker receives the

specic information for each process

step exactly when needed, and thus no

longer has to process too much data

at once. Check-digits at all storage

locations ensure that the correct

items are picked. This is an easy way

to maintain high picking accuracy,

minimizing the chance that the wrong

items will be retrieved. In addition,

Pick-by-Voice simplies the processitself: Retrieval of the stock item and

verication occur simultaneously. At

a point when conventional methods

would still require an entry into

the pick list or the data terminal, the

operator using Pick-by-Voice is already

en route to the next stock location.

Customized congurations

Pick-by-Voice from Dematic can be

easily tailored to the most diverseindividual project requirements.

Congurable task sequences, menus

and displays mean that the software

can be easily customized to meet

individual demands. As a result, all

process steps can be carried out in the

optimum sequence, ensuring maximum

efciency.

Simple integration

Unlike conventional systems, which

require pickers to undergo extensivetraining on use of the wireless

terminals, training for Pick-by-Voice is

minimal. And the need to deploy

additional personnel to process data

from the paper lists is also

Hands free

Pick-by-Voice has a proven track

record in industrial applications

as an innovative technology

thats easy to integrate into

existing system environments.

Pick-by-Voice solutions from

Dematic are based on robust

hardware designed for industrialuse, and on reliable and efcient

software. Pick-by-Voice com-

municates via WLAN and is

compatible with conventional

wireless data equipment.

putting it into place is generally not

enough. Thats why, in implementing

Pick-by-Voice, Dematic focuses on

integrating existing processes and

reviewing processes that are down-

stream from order picking.

This holistic approach brings expanded

functionalities that add efciencies

above and beyond simply optimizing

the order-picking process. We call it

Logistics-by-Voice, which addresses

downstream functions such as the

production of documents and labels, as

well as order consolidation in the

shipping department. The picker is thus

able to complete the entire process

through voice control seamlessly

optimized and fully supported by the

capabilities of Pick-by-Voice.

Intelligent warehouse management

In addition to the actual order picking,

the system also performs important

tasks at the warehouse management

level, particularly in conguring and

optimizing pick sequences. At this

level, the system provides many

options that can be set according to

the needs of the individual customer.

These include criteria such as mapping

warehousing structures or taking time

standards or shift changes into con-

sideration as well as supply line control,

inventory support and personnel

management.

Using this criteria as the basis, the

most appropriate picking strategy can

be developed and optimum routes

planned. When it comes to taking full

advantage of a new technology, simply

eliminated. Pick-by-Voice users need

only about 15 minutes to generate a

personal voice prole. In addition, the

use of commonly understood words for

capturing the data rather than non-

intuitive function keys further reduces

the need for training.

Efcient reporting

An integrated reporting tool enables

you to have all process-critical para-

meters at your ngertips at all t imes.

Pick order sequences, status infor-

mation, time remaining until order

completion and productivity data of

individual picking zones can be ana-

lyzed at any time. The system gene-

rates the relevant statistics and reports

from stored, real-time data. This en-

ables you to assess the utilization and

efciency of the system in real time, a

huge advantage over the time-con-

suming conventional processes.
