There is so much to an automated storage and retrieval system that a blog can only scratch the surface of a topic, so I strive to give you basic knowledge about a topic but endeavor to try to inform as much as possible effectively but as concise as possible. In this spirit, I will write about the benefits of an automated system, which lowers labor costs, order time and increases pick and pack accuracy.
New technology allows warehouse facilities to take advantage of the huge strides in warehouse distribution methods in the endeavor to reduce costs and improve accuracy. Warehouse distribution centers have turned to the automation of many of the practices. Part of the goal of automation is to increase accuracy of put away and replenishment as well as many other functions to an astounding 99% accuracy rate. How? By investing in new technology.
For instance, pick to light and voice is the use of voice directed order picking, sortation, retrieval, picking, sorting, and retrieval process. The goal is to work fast and efficiently, by reducing error and as well as reduce labor costs while increasing return on investment.
An automated system is not cheap but there are studies to demonstrate that the implementation of the right system will reduce costs over the long term while increasing productivity. Research the options thoroughly and work with a consultant to make sure that the system you invest in is right for your business.
