More and more managers who deal with distribution and the company's supply chain need optimal solutions to the commercial problems that appear daily. Their main concerns tend to focus on reducing costs and improving operations, because these are the main factors that increase production in the warehouse.

Instead, the company gets a cost reduction by 50% in the first year and a more profitable management system. With fewer configuration errors, the yields are also reduced, therefore the company inevitably wins in accuracy and productivity.

How does Pick by Voice work?
Operators must use headphones and terminals specially designed to perform the tasks assigned to them. In the Pick by Voice system, not only auditory commands are received, but it is a completely interactive system. The worker uses the microphone to respond to the requests or give orders, and the voice recognition system is the one that analyzes the answers and establishes whether the work has been done correctly in the warehouse. For example, Pick by Voice from Honeywell, also known as Honeywell Voice, can be combined with many storage technologies and devices and easily connects to the WMS or ERP system.
