passes of the warehouse and pick
both orders
Each Order should be less than
equipment capacity
Cluster size set for optimum
equipment capacity utilization
Bin11

Full Case Picks

What is needed?
Assign shipping labels to cases during
picking
Perform picking efficiently
WMS Features:
Create case level shipping labels
(UCC-128) at order release
Assign labels to operator at the start
of picking
Perform case picks by scanning LPN
or UCC-128 barcode (SSCC-18)
Options:
Load cases to a pallet
Load cases to a conveyor
Enhancement to perform picks by

scanning case labels

High Volume operations when scanning slows you down
WMS and Voice Benefits

No toggling between the system and the physical work
No need to query a screen to get work units
Less system training required
Proven ROI
Success Rate comparable to RF & WMS implementations
