VOCOLLECT
 
PDI & Sunrise Dairy voice-activated warehouse selecting system (Vocollect) converts electronic data into voice commands for the warehouse selectors through radio frequency. The selectors wear a headset and a belt-mounted radio frequency unit for communication purposes. The selector is directed to a slot location determined by the next item to pick on the order. The selector is required to verify the slot location and must state the slot location check digit for the computer to cross check that they are in the correct location.
    Once the selector has stated the correct check digit, he/she will be prompted to select the correct quantity of product from the slot. The selector is then directed to the next pick location and the process is repeated until the batch and/or order has been filled.
     The loaders can access information from Vocollect concerning where a pallet has been placed on the dock. This reduces the chances of a pallet being left behind.
Benefits of this system are:
  • Accuracy of orders through check digits. The order selection process is streamlined.
  • Training process is more structured and it reduces the learning curve for new employees.
  • Increase in productivity.
  • Reduces safety risks. 
  • Check Digits on Slots
  • Each slot location in the warehouse has a unique check digit.
