100% picking accuracy target

PJH Group has placed a £150,000 order with Solarsoft Business Systems for new voice picking software and Psion Teklogix Workabout Pro units which will enable PJH to aim for 100% picking accuracy and increase the number of picks per day by as much as 10%. By removing manual warehouse processes, staff training time will also be reduced from several days to a matter of hours.

With upwards of 18,000 items picked each day in PJH warehouses, voice technology will increase the productivity of staff and give the company more speed and flexibility in its warehouse operations.

Using speech recognition and synthesis, the solution will allow PJH workers to communicate with the warehouse management system.
