RDS Order Fulfillment Automation Suite

RDS Order Fulfillment includes the following modules, which can be configured to match your company’s business rules and processing requirements:  

• Optimized Order Release – Flexible and powerful order release management module that increases picking productivity by using algorithms to select orders based on several variables to balance workload and reduce labor. Optimized release plans eliminate repetitive steps, reduce labor costs, and increase picking rates by 2X. 
• Cartonization – Algorithmic planning software that analyzes order contents and product profiles to calculate space and select the most efficient carton size or package type for shipping. Cartonization logic significantly reduces unused carton space, reduces void fill costs, and ensures the order is packed to take advantage of the lowest possible shipping rates. 

• Voice Technology – Numina’s RDS Victory Voice™ picking system is an adaptive module that replaces paper-based picking with voice-directed picking. Victory Voice, combined with wearable mobile technology, enables workers to work hands-free eyes-focused, increasing pick productivity and yielding 99.9% accuracy. 
• Parallel Picking Processes: 

1. 1. 1. Batch cart picking/pick-to-carton – increases efficiency by analyzing the order pool, systematically selects orders and shipping carton upfront, manages batch-picking processes for fork trucks, batch push carts, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and directs operators to pick directly into the shipping carton, eliminating packing labor.
      2. Zone picking – high-volume skus are placed in a simple pick module along a gravity conveyor, operators stay within zones as a box travels down the conveyor and diverts to operators whenever an order has demand located in that zone. 
      3. Full case picking – operators with a batch cart or on a fork truck are directed in an optimized picking path to pick full cases. They can bypass the conveyor and integrate full case picking, manifesting and labeling using zebra “hip device – mobile wearable printers” during the picking process.  This process increases speed and efficiency when fulfilling full case orders.
      4. Voice-directed pallet build – after an order has been picked and packed, Victory Voice can be used to direct the pallet build process and sort based on carrier, mode (parcel or LTL), customer, retailer, etc.
