Save Your Business Money With Automated Piece Picking
The world of warehouse operations is evolving, and so should your picking strategy. This discussion will uncover how one-to-many picking is costing your operations money and how automated piece picking is the optimal choice for your business.
The panelists will break down assumptions about current picking approaches and shed light on the inefficiencies and higher costs associated with one-to-many picking. They will also explore the benefits of implementing automated 1-to-1 picking, such as increased flexibility, higher accuracy, and lower complexity, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and profitability.
Robotics suppliers and an end user will give examples of real-world deployments using AI-powered piece picking. Attendees can gain insights into best practices for getting started, optimizing for performance, and adapting workflows to ultimately save on operations costs.
