Case picking at high volume can be a big challenge for many warehouse managers. First, shipping label must be affixed to each case due to compliance needs. Second, each shipping label must match the record on ASN. Last but not least, operator needs to pick, label, and confirm one case at a time, which is a cumbersome process.
Let’s say your warehouse operator needs to pick 100 cases of the same item. Under the current setup, one must affix label on a case, enter pick information, scan label and then confirm. The process is efficient for a single item/case pick, but it is a time-consuming process to repeat 100 times.
Here’s a better solution:
High Volume Case Picking feature in 12.1 allows the operator to affix all of the labels at once onto the 100 cases. Since the source and destination are the same for all 100 cases, the operator enters the information only once. In a single task window, an operator is asked to scan all 100 cases, one after another. Once complete, the operator confirms once for all 100 case picks and drops the picked items to a pallet or conveyor. In essence, 12.1 High Volume Case Picking feature speeds up the outbound processing by eliminating the need to enter any duplicate information. This feature is a small improvement over the current implementation, but can potentially be a huge impact for customers with high volume picking need.
It is also worthwhile to point out that High Volume Case Picking feature is EAN-128(UCC-128) label compatible.
