Voice Picking

What is voice picking?

The use of voice technologies, such as voice picking, offers many benefits for warehouses in every industry. By using voice commands, employees have their hands free while picking orders.

How Does Voice Picking Work?

The voice picking process consists of several steps:

The software sends a series of picking-related data to the voice-picking device.
The employee receives instructions through his or her headphones.
As soon as the warehouse worker arrives at the specified storage location, he speaks the verification code into the microphone and retrieves the required goods.
The warehouse software compares the received information with the data in the system. The system checks the quantity of item numbers still on the shelves based on the warehouse associate’s data and verifies whether the inventory has been counted correctly. If the data is correct, the task is marked as complete, and a new picking order is sent.
As soon as an order line is processed, the warehouse worker receives instructions via the voice-picking system to print labels, pack and weigh the goods, and consolidate orders.

The Benefits of Voice Picking

Voice picking offers a number of major advantages:

Accurate management of inventory and goods. By implementing voice picking, the risk of errors can be minimized. This ensures that customers always receive their purchases as quickly as possible.
Increasing employee productivity. With voice picking, employees keep their hands free to prepare orders. This increases productivity.
Employees do not need to look at a screen. The information is conveyed to the employee via voice, and the employee also provides the correct input to the computer via voice.
Flexible integration with other systems. Voice picking is part of a comprehensive solution that combines hardware and software. Integration with the underlying WMS or ERP system is seamless and efficient, without requiring any major changes to that WMS or ERP system.

Why Choose DatAction's Voice Picking?

When implementing voice picking systems, there are always a number of important factors to consider. Thanks to our many years of experience and expertise, we are able to handle this as efficiently as possible. These factors include the following:

It is important to have a stable and strong Wi-Fi connection to ensure a wireless connection in your warehouse. This ensures that the voice picking system always operates at its best.
With voice picking systems, we encounter various factors that can affect speech recognition. These include situations with a lot of background noise, employees speaking in a different language, or speaking with an accent. With DatAction’s voice technology, we can still ensure accurate speech recognition in all of these situations. Our technology effortlessly recognizes different accents, dialects, and voices. At the same time, background noise is filtered out.
DatAction provides training and education for your employees. This helps them quickly become familiar with our voice technology

Our Process Analysis

As the first step in the transition to a voice system, DatAction conducts an analysis of the warehouse process. In this so-called “DC Walkthrough,” we work with you to assess the performance of your current order-picking process. We analyze the process, the physical layout of the warehouse, and the productivity and accuracy of the current order-picking system. Then we explore how voice picking can help improve your workflow.

Based on the measurements and an analysis of your current order-picking system, we’ll determine the payback period and ROI (Return on Investment) for the new voice-picking solutions. This will give you a complete understanding of whether switching to voice picking is a profitable move for your business.
