Warehouse Voice Picking

Mature, proven technology for accurate results

Voice-directed work has been successfully deployed by large and small companies for more than 20 years, and Vocollect is a leading supplier with hundreds of installations and hundreds of thousands of users around the world. Its voice recognition software is superior to other devices; it supports local languages and needs only a few hours to learn your unique voice.

The Vocollect Voice technology then enforces order accuracy through random check digits. The check digits are placed directly at the product’s location and must be read when the worker is at that location. The system won’t allow a worker to continue unless the appropriate digits are read, guaranteeing accuracy nearly 100% of the time.

Combine the flexibility of RFgen, a Vocollect-certified Total Solution partner, with the usability of Vocollect Voice for the most efficient execution of processes such as Voice Picking, Order Selection, Putaway, Direct Pick/Pack/Ship, and Manufacturing Inspection, while ensuring real-time updates to your ERP or other enterprise back-end system.

Voice receiving can:

• Eliminate double-checking by a supervisor before receiving is complete
• Allow implementation of labor standards with data capture

Voice loading yields:

• Increased staff productivity and volume by 20%
• Reduced floor space—doors turn faster

Voice putaway and replenishment results in:

• Improvement in staff productivity while increasing volume
• Improvement in replenishment rate (pallet/hour)
• Reduction in training time
• Savings of over $30K/year in capital equipment

Workers wearing lightweight headsets enable clear voice prompts to perform tasks and speak directly to the system to confirm actions and move a process forward. Users spend a few hours training a device to recognize their voice so accents or local language requirements are not a problem.

Because voice is a hands-free, eyes-free operation, workers can devote total attention to the task at hand, greatly reducing unproductive time and mistakes. Employees find they can perform at higher levels with less effort, allowing them to take more pride and ownership in their work. This results in less overall turnover for your business.
