Voice directed picking systems in warehouses and distribution centers have been around since the 90’s, but are rapidly rising in use due to technological advancements that make it simple and affordable to implement. Voice picking is a dialogue between your team members and your warehouse control system. Employees wear a headset and receive voice directed commands for picking inventory for orders based on smart scanning of SKU and serial numbers. Voice is also used in put applications to replenish inventory with direct voice commands to the employee.
Picks are confirmed as a worker moves through the warehouse from one location to the next with easy to understand voice commands. Voice systems direct workers through the warehouse with the path optimized to be the most efficient.
Numerous Benefits of Voice Directed Picking
One of the most valuable benefits of voice picking systems is that the employee has free use of both hands. A voice picking system provides hands free scanning which drastically boosts productivity and eliminates the need for workers to pick from paper or carry an RF scanner.
Voice picking technology is also very effective, proven to improve accuracy to 99.99%. Voice directed picking systems decrease the chance of error with real time scanning directing pick and put applications.
A voice directed picking system should be multi-modal, allowing feedback from the operator’s’ voice, and easy to learn with minimal start up training and voice recognition required.
