100% picking accuracy

KiSoft Vision, KNAPP's visiondirected order picking system, has been presented in operation for the first time at the distribution centre of Magnum Medical in Tallinn, Estonia.

The technology has achieved a quality level of 6 from Six Sigma, ensuring 100% error-free order picking. This level of accuracy is possible because KiSoft Vision supports picking staff through an optimal combination of optical user guidance, image recognition, barcode and serial number tracking, and audio feedback.

Explains Craig Rollason, head of sales and marketing for KNAPP UK: "The system uses augmented reality technology, which visualises information at the exact time and location the operator needs it, through a head-mounted display. An integrated navigation system calculates the picker's optimal route through the warehouse."
