Using Wireless Devices for Picking

Use the Wireless Warehouse Management system to pick orders and manifests in the most efficient way. Through pick sequence logic, wireless picking optimizes the flow of warehouse processes. With its real-time access to order status, it also enhances communications between the warehouse and sales department. For example, automatic backorder notification is sent to inside salespersons, outside salespersons, or order writers.

In addition, verification during the picking and shipping process eliminates potential allocation and shipping errors. System validation ensures picking of the correct item from the proper location.

The Wireless system leads you through the entire processes of picking and staging by doing the following:

• Alerting you when to pick an order.

• Indicating from where to pick product, and the amount to pick.

• Confirming that the correct product and quantity was picked.

• Aiding in immediate resolution of any problems so that orders can continue to be picked in a timely manner.

• Confirming when an order is picked and staged.

• Assisting you in truck loading, as needed.

In Wireless picking, you can assign pick priority to orders, as well as assign orders to operators or allow operators to select orders to pick.
