EZWM Voice Picking is speech-based picking, also referred to as pick-by-voice and voice-directed warehousing (VDW). Being hands-free, eyes-free system and voice prompted, it is easy to direct warehouse operators to picking locations and to instruct them in picking tasks. EZWM Voice picking creates a direct dialogue between your mission critical systems and team members through the simplest means possible: a conversation in plain language they can use every day.  Workers are not overloaded with RF scanners or paper wherein EZWM Voice picking comes in handy by translating picking orders through a headset.

Organizations at first used these solutions to improve picking operations with voice-only technology. However, today’s voice-directed applications often combine matching technologies like barcode scanning or RFID. What’s more, they now help automate any manual, hands-on process in the warehouse. For example, receiving, refilling, cycle count, sortation, put away, packing, cross-dock, loading, etc.

EZWM Voice picking is a proven process for achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort. Pickers wear headsets connected to an industrial microphone or a mobile device running the voice computer program. The voice of the computer program tells the picker the task they must do and which location, such as the exact location in the warehouse to go to and the number of items to be picked using the verbal commands. The picker speaks into the microphone to confirm their work. The EZWM voice picking computer program includes speech recognition software that recognizes and understands the order picker’s spoken responses. Pickers confirm they are picking the correct item by speaking a check string to validate the picking location. Pickers also confirm the amount being picked. The voice application will correct the picker if they enter any wrong information.
