Your guide to more efficient order picking
Unlike traditional warehouse order pickers, TAWI’s mobile order picker relieves picking staff from manual lifting. The vacuum lifter makes lifting quick and effortless, saving valuable strength and time.
To bring your product to customers on time you need an efficient method for picking orders. You also need equipment that will ensure order picking is fast and effortless.
A key objective for successful order picking is to implement a process that will increase both productivity and precision. TAWI’s order picker solution resolves this conflict by enabling high-speed order picking without compromising precision. The vacuum powered order pickers enable operators to pick orders at high speed, still allowing them to handle goods with care and attention.
TAWI’s order picker is a mobile vacuum lift system that enables effortless and ergonomic handling of all types of goods. The operator can easily pick parcels of varying size and shape, sacks or other packaged goods with minimal physical effort. With the order picker, one person can pick orders through a full 8-hour shift without any strain on arms, shoulders or back.
Using proper order picking equipment will help you achieve a more efficient order picking process. But to fully ensure high-speed order picking, the warehouse layout and operational processes also need to be considered. Here we have listed some examples of warehouse improvement ideas.
- Ensure product availability. Check and replenish inventory as needed. There are software solutions available to help you keep track of the status of your inventory.
- Prioritize product placement. Put the most frequently ordered items near the entrance of the picking area. Sort according to popularity, placing the least frequently ordered products at the back.
- Review warehouse layout. The way products are arranged in the warehouse greatly affects the speed and efficiency of the picking process. Grouping similar items together is often beneficial. The warehouse layout can also influence routing practices. Do you have items that are often ordered together? Make sure they are stored in proximity to each other.
