East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/12/2013 -- Industry sectors that are often most impacted by simple solutions, are fast moving item picks at any warehouse. Assembly line processes are complex, particularly in food logistics, e-commerce business-to-consumer organizations, spare parts assemblies, and a wide variety of consumer goods distribution centers. The permutations of one product can be complex with exponential growth in SKUs.
Pcdata picking solutions offer simplicity and efficiency required by more than ninety percent (90%) of the warehouse and 3PL space. Antonio Rodrigues, Pcdata’s Senior Manager, noted, “It is best when the hardware components are modular and user replaceable, minimizing maintenance and support costs. We have seen that in the right environment these Pick-to-Light systems will outperform typical voice, RF scanning or paper based picking and order assembly processes.”
Rodrigues identified the characteristics most needed to go with an efficient picking solution:
- High visibility, robust order pick displays
- Flexible mounting method allowing the system to easily adapt/grow with warehousing operation
- Simple intuitive software
- Highly accurate order assembly
- Orders handled by barcode scanning or manual selection
- Picking data interfaced with ERP/WMS for real-time visibility
- Hassle free maintenance
These characteristics for picking solutions are a great starting point for finding a cost-effective and efficient solution. All the bells and whistles of costly complex solutions completely miss the actual value, picking the right product, at the right place, at the right time.
