Voice plays a role

When leading metal fastener supplier, WASI, needed to expand its logistics operations, it asked KNAPP to provide an automated handling solution.

Voice picking played a role. Apart from the OSR Shuttle picking stations, fulfilment elsewhere in the distribution centre is carried out using KNAPP's KiSoft Voice picking solution. This simple and flexible system allows pickers to use both hands in order to pick a variety of products, including heavy items.

WASI's new handling solution also features a stacker crane system for pallet storage and retrieval and a conveyor system with dispatch lanes for sortation of completed orders.
