“Speed Picking” To Meet Customer Demand

Could You Be

Picking Faster?

Increase Throughput with Batch Picking

Workers picking one order at a time often find themselves walking several miles a day and visiting popular SKU locations multiple times. Bottlenecks often occur in shipping (orders are waiting for “one last SKU” to complete the order) or manufacturing (production stops due to a lost or misplaced part).

Using automated storage and picking solutions, one worker can fill multiple orders (called a batch) in just one rotation or cycle of the unit. Batches are created by order commonality and picks are sequenced to increase throughput.

Further, orders can be prioritized by importance and inventory availability to extend order cut-off times allowing a facility to bemore competitive and customer friendly.

Batch picking can easily be paused to fulfill hot picks immediately on demand. This not only reduces bottlenecks in shipping or -manufacturing but allows facilities to meet specialty demands, such as picking a part for engineering.
