Let Fastpic5 Area Handling Do The Planning
Wasting time walking up and down shelving searching for inventory can be exhausting. FastPic5 inventory management software introduces a new feature called area handling. This function manages all of the inventory within a warehouse and plans all picking and put away processes. When a pick list is created, FastPic5 devises a strategic walking pattern to increase productivity. FastPic5 inventory management software can manage an entire warehouse, reduce walk time and increase overall productivity.
The concept is simple. Using multiple inventory methods to manage individual zones can be costly, time consuming and cause errors across the board. FastPic5 software can manage not only automated storage and retrieval systems, but also static rack and shelving. Using one inventory management software package can simplify processes and organize the warehouse to work more efficiently, saving time and eliminating potential errors.
By using the area handling function in FastPic5, the thinking and planning part of the picking and putting process is simplified. FastPic5 organizes the work for the worker to maximize productivity. When pick and put lists are entered into FastPic5, the software navigates the worker through the warehouse using the most efficient path. This increases the speed at which a worker can pick an order and eliminates back tracking.
The area handling feature maximizes worker productivity. In a non optimized order picking environment, an organization can only work as fast as their slowest picker. In this case, area handling optimizes all walking strategies without giving a worker the opportunity to create their own path. This increases control and overall worker productivity.
