Manual picking is one of the most labor intensive aspects of goods-handling. Think about it: you have to walk to the targeted rack, retrieve the product, put it in its proper tray or container, and then get walk to the next SKU’s location. All these little steps are cumbersome and time guzzling. Any improvements to this aspect of your warehouse will make a huge difference.
Automating the manual picking process is paramount to making your warehouse operations more efficient. Instead of a person doing the picking, robots can do it with software that guides them and optimizes routes, picking and packing.
