AL Systems announces Pick to Light vs. Voice Picking webinar

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Rockaway, NJ - AL Systems, a leading provider of Warehouse Control System and Order Fulfillment solutions, announces their next webinar titled Pick to Light vs. Voice Picking to be held on Friday, January 14th 2011.

Providers of voice-directed picking and putting technology claim that voice is the best solution because it improves productivity and accuracy for a reasonably low investment. On the other hand, providers of light-directed picking and putting technology explain that light technology is the best solution because it improves accuracy to the same degree as voice, but increases productivity to a much greater degree. Voice and light picking and putting solutions are each “best” only in certain circumstances, at least when “best” is measured by productivity improvements and investment costs. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to identify in which circumstances (a) voice-directed picking and putting requires less investment than lights and improves productivity to almost the same degree, (b) light-directed picking and putting requires less investment than voice and improves productivity to a much higher degree and (c) a hybrid of voice and lights, driven from a common software application, provide the best blend of investment and productivity improvements.

Upon attending this webinar, the audience will be able to analyze their operations and determine the appropriate Order Fulfillment technology to maximize their productivity and return on investment.
