Thanks to technological development, voice picking in distribution centers and warehouses has come of age over the past decade. Voice picking is now a serious, professional option for order picking with end-to-end solutions. A solution often preferable to manual picking with list and also better than picking with bar code. There are two types of voice picking systems: voice dependent and voice independent.
CaptureTech believes that a speech-dependent (trained) system is better in every way. The language version of a speech-independent (untrained) system – usually Dutch – serves as the basis of comparison for all voice pickers using the system. ‘Speech-independent’ therefore does not take into account, for example, differences in pronunciation, a dialect or even colds. With a speech-dependent (trained) system, such issues can be overcome from the start.
Each user of a speech-dependent system uses a unique language database optimized for him/her. In it, words spoken by the voice picker are compared with words previously spoken by the same person. The work environment in a distribution center or warehouse presents too many challenges for a speech-independent system. People talk in the background, a radio is on, a forklift drives by, and so on. Things that a speech-independent (untrained) system is not designed to deal with. As a result, the margin of error increases dramatically. And your investment in a voice solution doesn’t bring the benefits you’re counting on.
A voice-dependent (trained) system from CaptureTech has the following advantages:
The short time investment per employee to train his/her voice database by speaking in will pay for itself in no time. Error rates will drop noticeably almost immediately, resulting in greater productivity.
During our proven walkthrough of a distribution center, we analyze your warehousing processes and come up with sound advice on voice based on that analysis. We calculate your ROI including the payback period. Productivity increases by at least 20% by deploying a voice solution from CaptureTech. And with the use of CaptureTech Insight, you can further optimize processes after implementation!
