Order Picking
Manual Versus Automated Order Picking
Order picking is one of the many systems SI, Systems handles. The operation is one of a logistic warehouse’s processes. It consists in taking and collecting articles in a specified quantity before shipment to satisfy customers’ orders. It is a basic warehousing process and has an important influence on supply chain’s productivity.
Order picking is a top priority to achieve success in warehouse distribution. It must be done effectively, productively and accurately in order to be successful. For this reason alone, automation is a very good alternative to manual methods.
