The use of voice technology in the warehouse is expanding, particularly for order picking. Voice directed order picking involves the use of a wearable computer with a headset and microphone. The order pickers are instructed by voice on which items to pick and where to pick them. The pickers then verbally confirm their actions back to the system (WMS) via a radio frequency (RF) and local area network (LAN). The list of potential benefits from using a voice system is impressive:

• 99.9% plus order accuracy
• 15% plus increase in productivity over typical bar coding systems
• Removes trips back to assignment desk
• Removes cost of printing and distributing picking documents
• Removes cost of re-keying order amendments, picking confirmations and catch weights
• Hands free & head down — allows operators to focus on the task
• Real-time feedback for proactive management
• Real-time stock updating
• Improves safety
• Reduces training — verbal prompts easier
