Pcdata USA Route Optimization Pick Cart Profiled in Modern Materials Handling

March 29, 2014 - PRLog -- Pcdata USA, a global logistics systems leader for supply chain automation, was featured in the current issue of Modern Materials Handling. The innovative PickCart is equipped with route optimization software.  Antonio Rodrigues, North American sales manager for Pcdata USA’s pick control systems said, “The software ensures that operators travel the shortest distance possible when filling orders. The PickCart multi-order picking solution is ideal for high stock keeping unit (SKU) count and low frequency warehouses.”

The control software includes a navigation view that shows each cart’s location on a graphical, overhead schematic of a warehouse, or picking zone—however management wants to configure the cart system. The hardware can be applied to as many different cart configurations and sizes as required, either in new installations or as a retrofit to an existing cart fleet.

According to Sara Pearson Specter, author of the article, “Using pick-to-light modules, the cart can handle up to 50 orders. It can be deployed as a stand-alone solution or combined with other picking technologies. Easily integrated with existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) and warehouse management system (WMS) software, the cart’s software is fully customizable. The software runs on any Windows-based computer, using standard wireless network protocols. It does not require dedicated servers or complex network infrastructure.”

The PickCart was featured at MODEX 2014 last week in Atlanta’s Georgia World Conference Center. The tradeshow showcased the latest manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry.  To read the entire article, go to: http://www.mmh.com/article/pcdata_offers_pick_cart_with_route_optimization_software_cuts_operator_trav.
