Order Picking

Order Picking
What:

Order picking or order selection is the process of retrieving individual items to fulfill an order. Order picking involves locating stored items, automatically or manually selecting those items and then sorting and assembling them into orders.


Where:

Every facility involved in distribution, manufacturing, wholesale and retail operations. 


Why:

Efficient order picking is always the goal. The question is how efficient is efficient? The short answer is if it meets your financial business plan. Organizations ran to pick-to-light flow rack as a way to double its throughput. This system works great, when applied to fast moving inventory. Facilities now find themselves with the vast majority of their inventory in flow rack whether it’s a fast, medium or slow mover… a totally inefficient strategy.

The question is how can you increase order picking efficiency to gain a strategic business advantage? This often means looking into systems and methods which can dramatically improve your throughput by 600%, improve space savings by 85%, reduce labor by 2/3 while improving accuracy to +99.99% levels.

Remstar’s automated storage and retrieval solutions are designed to do exactly this in the proper applications. Remstar is experienced in helping you analyze your data to create the best strategy in handling all the different types of items in your inventory. Not all SKUs are created equal… don’t treat them that way!
