Voice Picking
Looking for more efficiency in your picking stations while increasing safety on the floor? Voice picking is an effective tool for picking operations, and above all, is easy to learn.
Voice picking is designed to keep an operator's hand and eyes free, allowing them to focus more on the task at hand. Each operator is equipped with a pick to voice terminal and a headset with microphone. A barcode scanner (wired or wireless) can also be added to increase accuracy and productivity. Easy to understand voice prompts direct operators to locations and instruct them as to what task needs to be performed. Multi-modal feedback via an operator's voice, a barcode scan or direct text entry provides additional operational flexibility.
Benefits of Voice Picking:
- Lightweight terminal/mobile device and headset for increased operator comfort
- Training time often less than 30 minutes
- 99.5%+ accuracy levels
- Proven ability to grow with your business
- Smooth integration and start up
- Payback often in less than 12 months
Other benefits include reduced training time, less dwell time for operators per shift, increased inventory accuracy and higher customer satisfaction.
System Integration
Exacta pick to voice can be seamlessly integrated to a variety of host systems, including ERP and WMS systems. More than 20 years of experience in the industry has given us an opportunity to build interfaces to a variety of WMS and ERP systems, including home-grown systems on a variety of platforms.
Orders are imported from the host system to the Exacta system (typical interfaces include web services, table-to-table, flat files, etc.) where they can be sequenced and released to be processed. Decoupling these two activities allows order processing in exacta to occur even if the host system experiences downtime. As orders are processed, Exacta sends updates back either in real-time as each pick is completed or in batches as individual orders are completed. Detailed operator metrics can be pulled via reporting tools in Exacta.
