Voice Picking Today

Order picking is one of the most scrutinized tasks in the warehouse. Why? The methods for order picking can be quite complex depending upon the processing required of a given product line. Various characteristics of the order such as special labeling, routing, unique unit of measure or product demand can force process designers to implement multiple picking methods per order. Regardless of the complexity of the picking method, however, today’s multimodal Voice Picking systems by CTG consistently deliver higher accuracy, increased productivity and reduced cycle time.

 CTGTALK MultiModal^TM Solutions speech-enable any picking process, including systems that employ terminal emulation, custom mobile user interfaces, or a combination of both. Operating on virtually any mobile computer running Windows Mobile or Windows CE, CTGTALK MultiModal leverages your current investment in mobile devices and seamlessly integrates additional technologies that work in concert with the voice picking system such as RFID, barcode scanning, GPS, digital imaging, VoIP, Bluetooth, and more depending upon the peripherals available in the mobile devices employed. Mobile computers like Intermec’s CK-61 are being used around the globe for voice picking applications implementing CTGTALK MultiModal.
