Picking finds its voice

Clothing catalogue specialist, J D Williams & Company has awarded Dematic a major contract to supply and install a pick to voice system.

Comprising 80 voice terminals for pickers, the system will significantly improve pick accuracy.

Dematic is implementing a full Vocollect solution comprising Talkman hardware and customised VoiceLink software, which interfaces with the J D Williams mainframe system. Dematic is also implementing its own custom software, which facilitates the splitting of picks into manageable assignments; and a dashboard, which provides screen-based reporting of the whole pick operation to give J D Williams valuable pick progress information that was previously unavailable.
