Wireless picking helps you complete individual order picking for smaller orders, such as one operator picking one item at a time until the order is complete and for large orders, such as multiple operators pick one order under a single picker ID, until the order is complete. You can complete multiple order picking where one operator picks multiple orders at the same time or zone picking in which several operators from different pick groups simultaneously pick one order in their zones of the warehouse. You can also make quick picks so operators can stop picking the order they are currently working on to pick an order that needs immediate attention. Once they have picked, staged, and closed the quick pick, they return to the order on which they were working.
During the picking process, immediately handle quantity shortages by picking from different locations or backordering product. In addition, split picks between totes if you cannot fit all product onto one tote, or increase ordered quantities to match product package quantities.
After picking, you can stage and audit totes to ensure the orders are accurate and complete. Either close orders to indicate they are ready for delivery or pick up, or use system-directed loading to load orders onto delivery trucks.
