Voice Pick Systems: Improving Return on Investment

Weaknesses of Voice
Productivity, Accuracy, Training & More

Voice picking systems can transform the return on investment in your warehousing operations, where labor is the single biggest cost factor, yet it is often the least leveraged by technology. PEAK Voice Solutions optimize distribution center workforces. In fact, workers who've experienced voice say picking without it is like working with one eye closed, and one hand tied behind their backs.

The Heads-up, Hands-free Bottom line

Makes sense. Instead of traditional handheld computers/scanners, voice-enabled pickers are equipped with belt-worn mobile computers, wearable scanners and headset microphones. Speech synthesis software directs the picker, the picker confirms the completion of each task.

The potential savings are significant and fast, with businesses often recouping their entire voice investment in less than 12 months. Here's how:

  • Improved Productivity

    More tasks per worker per shift. The voice-enabled worker performs tasks with his head up and hands free. Liberated from tasks that tax productivity, such as scanning, reading pick lists, writing or keying in information, productivity improvements of 20% and higher are not uncommon.

  • Increased Accuracy

    By issuing workers exact instructions, confirming tasks and correcting errors as they occur, near 100% accuracy is achievable. A single error causes a series of costs in correcting that error, from returns, re-picking, and re-shipping to reduced customer satisfaction.

  • Reduced Warehouse Labor Costs

    Voice can reduce labor costs by creating a safer work environment, decreasing training time and lower turnover rates. Voice also reduces costs of picking related consumables such as paper, ink and other materials. Click Here to explore the qualitative benefits of voice.
