Pick Carts

Cluster picking increases operator efficiency by putting several orders onto the cart so the operator only has to walk the pick face once per group of orders. This works particularly well for products that are small, because the carts can then take a larger number of orders simultaneously.

RF terminals and pick by voice technologies work well with pick carts. Picking accuracy is ensured by scanners attached to data terminals and check digits spoken into the voice system.

For cluster picking operations, each shipping carton shelf location can be equipped with indicator lamps and press buttons. This ensures that the picked items are placed into the correct shipping carton.

Cart picking efficiencies can often be enhanced with a conveyor system that routes orders between areas, or one that moves picked order totes to the packing or dispatch areas.
