Batch Picking Cart Solution
Batch picking, sometimes referred to as cluster picking, increases the efficiency of distribution center operations by enabling an individual picker to pick multiple orders with one trip through the picking area.
Batch picking solution combines the best features of pick-to-light, put-to-light, voice, and wireless barcode scanning technologies into a single cart-based solution that yields significant increases in both the speed and accuracy of piece picking.
Pick Smarter, Not Harder
This very flexible technology reduces walking with its batching of orders enabling the completion of up to 50 orders in one trip. We use AI-technology and advanced mathematical models to calculate the shortest route between all items on the pick list. This provides huge time savings and reduces the wear and tear on equipment.
