text: A traditional method of improving accuracy of picking is "rf scanning" or "rf picking". Pickers carry a scanner (for example, an Intermec CK71 or Zebra MC92N0) and scan barcodes on items to confirm the correctness of the item supplied. The quantity picked is then typed into a keyboard and uploaded to the WMS. These devices are also used for rf receiving, rf stocktake and cycle counting. [Read More]
  A voice-enabled order picking process means pickers hear pick instructions over a headset and use speech to verify the product being picked, and to record the quantity supplied. A mobile computer like the Vocollect A730, A720 or A710 is belt mounted and connects to a wireless SRX2 headset (cabled headsets are also available, including the SR-30 high noise headset and SR-21 headset). Picking efficiency gains can exceed 35% when used with smarter picking strategies including batch and zone picking. [Read More]
  Forklift mounted computers like the Intermec CV41 allow warehouse workers to see a large amount of data (ie a full screen) and are typically connected to a long-range barcode reader in order to scan pallet license plates (SSCC barcodes) like the SR-61. [Read More]
  Wrist-mounted and belt-mounted mobile computers are a good choice for piece and full case picking. Without having to continually pick up and put down a scanner, your warehouse can achieve a greater throughput with less effort. [Read More]
