The integration of technology in logistics processes is making great strides, the order fulfillment system is a highly relevant nerve center for ensuring the success of the operation.
According to a report by Portal Innova, picking processes currently occupy at least 50% of the time of warehouse operators. For this reason, it is essential to visualize automations with robotic systems and solutions that allow to enhance and facilitate the preparation of orders, along with the reduction of costs and spaces.
In this article we will delve into the precision that your picking process can achieve with technological allies such as Pick to Light. Discover everything that this technology can do for your operation.
Is Pick to Light an alternative to inaccurate operations?
In the retail, distribution, E-commerce, manufacturing, assembly and pharmaceutical industries, we have a constant issue that affects the brand promise: immediacy. To meet the new needs of the supply chain, such as speed, high quality and good price, the logistics operation is suffering from severe vulnerabilities, especially in the assortment of orders.
To counteract this problem, Pick to Light offers us very interesting benefits, for example:
- Precision. It offers accuracy of up to 99% in order fulfillment. In addition, by working in real time, it keeps the inventory 100% updated.
