Pick by Voice – The technology of the future
The development of speech-controlled picking systems is the
logical step towards the implementation of modern technologies
for the optimisation of picking applications. The clear objective
here is to use the new technology to make picking processes more
effective and productive.
The technology introduced under the name "Pick by Voice"
completely replaces the outdated paper-based picking.
Furthermore, Pick by Voice is can also be used in combination
with conventional barcode technology.
Increasing the productivity of the workflow
In contrast to common picking solutions, Pick by Voice offers
the decisive advantage of significantly reducing the worksteps
required for the picking process. The picker receives his orders
via headset and confirms the execution by answering to the
system via microphone. A gain of time is achieved here by
making the handling of paper lists or operating mobile barcode
readers redundant. The operative can completely concentrate on
the actual manual picking process, thus also achieving a better
picking accuracy.
Standard system components
The communication with the speech system is realised with a
small mobile computer the picker wears in a case on his belt.
As mobile computers, common standard PDAs as well as devices
specially designed for the rough warehouse environments- like
topsystem`s VOXter® – can be used.
Pick by Voice can be easily connected to existing warehouse
management or enterprise resource planning systems via common
data base or file interfaces, allowing the integration of the
speech-based application simply as a new module to existing
logistics systems.
Practical experiences have shown that the implementation of Pick
by Voice quickly achieves significant increases in quality and
productivity, leading to an amortisation of investment often in
less than a year.
