RFID

RFID

RFID has proven itself to be a useful technology that enables an organization to have visibility into their operations. The ability to track people, assets, or products without the need for human intervention or direct line of site are main drivers for the use of RFID technology.

RFID technology can offer a business many benefits ranging from better tracking of work in process to speeding up throughput in a warehouse. Asset tracking and visibility issues can be pain points for a business. However, RFID technology can provide companies with automatic visualization of objects with no line of sight or human intervention. The use of RFID technology can benefit a business through reduced administrative errors, labor costs associated with scanning bar codes, internal theft, errors in shipping goods, and more efficient inventory levels.

Voice

Voice Directed Work

Through the use of Voice-Directed Picking, customers have realized accuracy and productivity gains in warehouses and distribution centers for nearly 20 years. Voice-Directed Work improves warehouse and distribution center performance by applying the latest in text-to-speech, speech recognition, and wireless wearable computing technologies to facilitate communication between workers and their warehouse management system (WMS).

With Voice, employees can stay focused on the job at hand. They're not reading a screen, pick list, or purchase order; keying in data, or juggling both product and an input device. Voice delivers critical DC functionality ranging from picking to put-away, to receiving and replenishment and many other critical distribution functions. Voice is ideal for any function where it's faster and easier for people to speak aloud than to enter data manually.
Miles Technologies, an authorized Vocollect partner, has a fully operational voice directed work system available for demonstration at their Technology Integration Center. Contact Miles Technologies to schedule an appointment to see if Voice is right for you in your Distribution Center today.
