Benefits of Automating Warehouse Order Picking Systems
Types of Automated Order Picking Systems
Pick-to-Light
Pick-to-light systems use lights and displays to guide workers directly to the items they need. When an order comes in, the system illuminates lights at specific storage locations, often accompanied by a digital display showing the exact quantity to pick. This eliminates the need for paper pick lists and reduces errors by visually directing pickers to the right items. Pick-to-light is a fast, efficient way to improve order fulfillment accuracy, especially for high-volume warehouses with frequently picked items.
Voice Picking
With voice-picking systems, workers wear headsets that receive spoken instructions from a central system. These instructions tell them exactly where to go in the warehouse, what item to pick, and the quantity needed. Workers then confirm their actions verbally and move on to the next pick. This frees up workers’ hands and eyes, allowing them to focus on picking and navigating the warehouse efficiently. This can significantly improve picking speed and accuracy compared to traditional paper-based methods.
Semi- and Fully Automated Picking
Fully automated picking systems don’t need people to fulfill orders. Instead, they use a combination of robots, vertical lift modules, conveyor systems and packaging systems to locate, select and transport goods before preparing them for shipment. These systems are best for the highest-demand and highest-volume warehouses where efficiency, accuracy and speed are critical. Semi-automated systems are also available, where human employees work alongside automated systems like VLMs and AS/RS, conveyors and end-of-line packaging.
