Thanks to the technology and its accelerated current progress, thousands of companies have given a positive turn to their business, implementing new tools that automate work processes.
If your mind goes through the idea that you could be working in a more productive and optimal way, you might be absolutely right. We will analyze if it is true that you can improve the performance in your business by implementing picking systems or assortment of orders:
A picking system increases productivity?
Automated storage and picking solutions allow operators to operate at higher levels. By delivering the items directly to the operator, the travel and search time commonly associated with the shelf is drastically reduced. This allows the operator to spend more time selecting, increasing overall productivity.
Due to the reduction in travel time and the search for an automated storage and selection solution, the selection of shelves that usually requires several workers, will often only require one worker to handle the same volume. Automatic storage and selection solutions are an excellent option when labor is limited or unreliable. In general, labor can be reduced by 2/3 while maintaining the volume of collection.
How labor productivity increases with a picking and storage system?
- Stored items are delivered directly to the operator, which eliminates unproductive travel time.
- An optimized movement of the machine is created: all items are selected in a rotation or cycle of a machine.
- The selection lights indicate which item and quantity to choose, eliminating the time spent searching for the right item.
