Voice Picking: let’s briefly illustrate the advantages of voice technology
Voice can become a decisive tool to be able to reach the results necessary for today’s market. This is also thanks to more efficient product handling and an increased abundance of data, that proves fundamental for traceability purposes in case of disputes with customers.
The main advantages that derive from the implementation of voice technology, for managing picking activities in logistic centers and in warehouses are:
- speed;
- accuracy and precision;
- increase in productivity.
Voice solutions, such as voice picking systems, eliminate the need to manually insert data, as they allow operators to carry out their operations while talking and listening to the information generated by the warehouse management system. This saves time and allows operators to avoid errors – a winning combination, if one considers the efforts necessary to retrace and correct, one by one, every single error – while the operators improve their safety by always remaining focused on what they’re doing, therefore decreasing the risk of accidents. Another result of working at a greater rapidity and preciseness, is the increase in productivity.
A great added value with voice technology is also the remarkable difference in training time compared to other systems, as it becomes essential in cases with a high employee turnover rate.
THE EVOLUTION OF VOICE PICKING TECHNOLOGY
The implementation of voice in logistics centers as pick by voice has continued to evolve over the years, and today, it isn’t just a technology, but an integral part of a series of solutions that aim to optimize processes.
Voice technology and integration have changed, and so have its applications: at first, voice was exclusively applied to picking. Nowadays, however, its application is much broader, and it expands to other processes like ventilation, kitting, quality control and check list.
It’s important to highlight that from an economic standpoint, collection activities are the most onerous, so with proper management, numerous benefits can be achieved.
