With product moving through the world’s warehouses faster than ever, labor shortages persisting and customer preferences continually changing, more companies are turning to technology for help managing these and other realities. An operational area that’s ripe for improvement, in many cases, the warehouse or DC floor is one place where organizations are applying technology to help eliminate bottlenecks, enhance efficiency and make jobs safer and easier for their employees.
For help on the order-picking front, companies are turning to one of the warehouse’s long-time allies: voice picking. Used in warehouses and DCs worldwide, voice combines real-time communication, interactive voice response and speech synthesis to create a hands-free and eyes-free picking environment.
