Beyond Picking Rates: Total Warehouse Optimization with Goods-to-Person Solutions
Order spikes, quick economic changes, and rising wages in a tight labor pool are accelerating the need for companies to invest in warehouse technologies that have the flexibility to adapt. Goods-to-Person solutions automate the storage, picking, moving, and sorting of goods and are proven to reduce dependency on manual labor in the picking process.
However, when considering new warehouse automation, it’s important to think beyond associate picking rates and take a holistic approach that will improve distribution center shipping rates. The popularity of new Goods-to-Person (GTP) solutions reinforce the importance of designing a unified warehouse solution. Without a unified pick, pack, and ship operation, a single solution operating alone can risk isolating the functions of your fulfillment center, turning them into disconnected islands of automation.
In this webinar, you will learn how Numina Group’s Real-time Distribution System (RDS) Warehouse Execution and Control Software and Geek+ create superior Goods-to-Person systems that incorporate parallel picking processes with pack-and-ship automation that yield the highest ROI.
Key takeaways include:
Design-first approach – collecting data upfront to determine if GTP is right for your operation
Scalable GTP automation – latest advancements in mobile robotics and GTP for storing, picking, moving, and sorting
Unified warehouse solution – implementing an automated pick, pack, and ship order fulfillment operation that reduces labor reliance and provides the highest ROI
