Dynamic Picking
Order picking has long been identified as the most labor-intensive and costly activity for almost every warehouse. The cost of order picking is estimated to be as much as 55% of the total warehouse operating expense. Any under-performance in order picking can lead to unsatisfactory service and high operational cost for its warehouse, and consequently for the whole supply chain. In order to operate efficiently, the order picking process needs to be robustly designed and optimally controlled.
Knighted’s Dynamic Picking takes picking for orders to the next level. It’s dynamic because the system is constantly monitoring the most efficient way to pick. It dynamically takes into consideration:

Shortest Pick Path

|
●
|
Integrated Replenishment
|
|
●
|
Optimized Slotting for least travel

Real-time pick labor management

Efficiency is also improved because pickers aren't required to return to the start point whenever orders are added. Instead, they continually move through their assigned zones. In fact, for pickers directed by voice, radio-frequency, or pick-to- light systems, the completion and addition of orders is Transparent.
Nobody has to worry about which wave you are working on. Wave integrity goes away Everyone works as fast and hard as they can. The picker does not know if he is working on an old order or on an order just recently added to his tasks, and does not need to know. There are no wave transitions. You are always picking at the crest of the wave.
