Client-based speech system
At the moment, topSPEECH-Lydia®-PDA is the only "pick by voice" system
world-wide working independently from the hardware. It proves its efficiency
in many successful installations at our customers. The use of standard PDAs of
different manufacturers and a special speech recognition software for the
voice picking developed by topsystem make voice picking reasonable and usable
in every warehouse.
As a speech-based system, topSPEECH-Lydia® liberates the worker from
unnecessary work steps, e.g. the handling of picking lists or barcode scanners.
The written instructions on paper or screen are replaced by spoken work
instructions via headset. The normal data input is not done by means of a
keyboard or a scanner, but by an integrated microphone receiving the worker’s
spoken words.
The following advantages result hereof:
- Increase of quality in the picking process because there is no more distraction
- Increase of productivity due to a more ergonomic procedure
All this improves the picking process, often making possible a return of
investment of less than one year.
Easy integration into existing logistic systems
By means of existing database or file interfaces, topSPEECH-Lydia® can easily
be added to existing warehousing or goods transaction systems so that it is
problem-free to integrate the speech-based application as a new module into
the existing logistic systems.
Advantages of the client-based speech system
The advantages of the new, client-based speech system are that both the
software and the speech recognition are embodied in the portable belt-worn PDA.
Therefore it is possible to use the system even in not fully radio-covered
warehouse complexes. This also allows for operations outdoors or in other
remote areas.
