In today’s competitive warehousing environment, efficient order fulfillment is essential, especially when managing large volumes of diverse SKUs. Integrating put walls with zone picking has proven to be a game-changer for many operations. This powerful combination optimizes processes, reduces travel time, and increases productivity. As a result, you can streamline picking and packing, ensuring that orders are completed quickly and accurately while lowering labor costs.
What is a Put Wall?
A put wall is an innovative system that consolidates picked items from various warehouse zones into individual customer orders. Acting as a central sorting station, it ensures that items from different areas come together efficiently. This setup simplifies the verification and packing of each order.
One key advantage of using a put wall is its ability to significantly reduce the number of scans needed during order fulfillment. Instead of scanning each item, the system requires only the sub-order barcode to be scanned at the put wall. Consequently, this approach saves time, reduces errors, and enhances the overall efficiency of the packing process. With the ability to handle high volumes of orders quickly and precisely, put walls become essential tools for managing complex order fulfillment, especially during peak periods.
Zone Picking: A Game-Changer in Order Fulfillment
Zone picking divides the warehouse into distinct zones, with each picker assigned to a specific area. This method significantly reduces travel time because pickers only move within their designated zone to gather items. When you integrate zone picking with put walls, the efficiency of order fulfillment increases even further. Items picked from different zones are brought to the put wall, where they are consolidated and packed for shipping. Therefore, this method not only speeds up the process but also reduces the chances of errors, ensuring each order is accurate.
AI-Driven Efficiency
At ABCO Systems, we take put wall and zone picking solutions to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge AI technology. Our system optimizes order picking batches and calculates the shortest route between all items on the pick list. With this intelligent approach, you save time and reduce wear and tear on both equipment and employees.
AI-powered batch optimization ensures that every second counts. This precision and automation boost productivity and lead to a more satisfied workforce. When tasks are completed quickly and accurately, employees experience less physical strain, which ultimately results in higher job satisfaction.

In today’s fast-paced e-commerce environment, fulfillment companies face a significant challenge: shipping too much “air“. This inefficiency arises when carton boxes used for shipping orders are not filled to their optimal capacity, leading to wasted space, excess packaging materials, and higher shipping costs. This issue has recently gained legislative attention, as evidenced by New Jersey’s new bill aimed at reducing packing waste by limiting the size of shipping boxes. IntelliPack, our innovative packing and shipping optimization technology, offers a comprehensive solution to this problem, providing numerous benefits in the process.
The Legislative Landscape and the Industry Challenge
The state of New Jersey has a history of mandating packaging changes. A New Jersey law signed in 2022 took effect this year banning polystyrene packing peanuts and requiring various levels of recycled content in different packaging materials. A recent report by packagingdive.com has announced that the New Jersey Senate has passed a bill (S226) that prohibits large online and major retailers from shipping products in boxes that exceed two times the volume of the product being shipped. This legislation is part of a broader effort to reduce packaging waste and its environmental impact by the Environment New Jersey (see environmentamerica.org/newjersey). The bill’s passage highlights a common issue in the logistics industry: inefficient packaging that leads to wasted materials and increased shipping costs.
How IntelliPack Solves These Challenges
Our IntelliPack packing and shipping optimization system is designed to address these issues head-on, providing a robust solution for modern fulfillment operations. Here’s how:
AI-Powered Cartonization: IntelliPack uses advanced AI algorithms to calculate the best carton box size for each order. By selecting the optimal box size, IntelliPack ensures that space is utilized efficiently, reducing the amount of “air” shipped. This not only minimizes the use of excess corrugate and dunnage but also cuts down on shipping costs.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: By optimizing box sizes, IntelliPack significantly reduces the environmental impact of shipping. Smaller, more efficiently packed boxes mean fewer trucks on the road, less fuel consumption, and a lower overall carbon footprint. This aligns with the legislative goals of reducing packaging waste and promotes sustainable business practices.
Improved Operational Efficiency: IntelliPack integrates seamlessly with your existing order management system, optimizing the entire packing process. This ensures that every order is packed quickly and efficiently, saving valuable time and resources, and improving the picker work experience. The light-directed picking of the right box further streamlines the process, enhancing productivity and reducing errors.
Enhanced Picker Experience: With IntelliPack, companies can save on multiple fronts—time, corrugate, dunnage, and shipping costs. The AI-powered system minimizes the need for extra filler material, reduces the volume of packaging used, and ensures that each package is as compact and lightweight as possible. This translates to significant savings in shipping costs, as you ship less “air” and more product.
The Bottom Line
IntelliPack is more than just a packing and shipping solution; it’s a comprehensive approach to modernizing and optimizing your fulfillment operations. By leveraging AI technology, IntelliPack not only complies with new legislative requirements but also drives significant cost savings and sustainability improvements.
