Order Picking

Efficient order picking requires precise location tracking and real-time item validation with computer vision

Successfully fulfilling a customer’s order is the goal of any 3PL, warehouse or distribution center, and fast and impeccable order picking is essential to reaching it. While the practice of order picking sounds rather simple, it represents a very big portion of operational costs. When customers receive the wrong items in their order, it results in warehouses managing returns, fulfilling a new order, and handling dissatisfied customers. Suffice it to say, if a facility does not have a flawless order picking process, they will lose money on every wrong order.
