Less room for your own invention
Very often in warehouses we have to deal with the situation when warehouse workers arrange the schedule of their work themselves.
Thanks to their extensive experience, very often their decisions are optimal, but this is not the rule.
In addition, the dynamic situation on the labor market and the seasonal nature of work in the warehouse mean that relying solely on the ingenuity of employees is sometimes disastrous.
WMS system, which is a professional warehouse management system, becomes a decision center from which messages and tasks to specific employees begin to flow.
The warehouse system, on the basis of external data (e.g., customer order data), but also on the basis of information collected in its database, (e.g., information about products stored in the warehouse), selects tasks to be performed, so that human labor becomes optimal.
Warehouse employees, controlled by the WMS system, each time approve the completed task, which significantly reduces the risk of error ( data collectors are used for communication between the warehouse employee and the WMS system ).
Control and support of effective work
The introduction of a WMS involves increased control over the actions of every employee in the warehouse.
It is primarily a factor in increasing the correctness and efficiency of warehouse operations.
The need to confirm the execution of each task and the data about the time, place, person who performed this task translate into a reduction of errors almost to zero.
The WMS can also be supported by a warehouse labor management ( WLM ) system.
Such a solution supports the introduction and maintenance of the highest standards for labor efficiency.
Estimates say that Employees working with a WMS are sometimes up to 39% more efficient than colleagues working without such a system. The percentage of minimization of mistakes is also not insignificant , reaching as much as 99.7%.
More intuitive - modern technology in the warehouse
Modern technology can fundamentally improve the work of operators in the warehouse. These include. about voice picking and pick(put) by light technology .
Thanks to The use of voice in the picking process, operators will communicate with the WMS using simple voice commands that are spoken during the process. Communication in the other direction (from the system to the operator), is done in the same way.
Technology put-by-light makes it easier for operators to find products being packed. This is made possible by messages displayed on special screens and lights mounted on warehouse shelves.
The numbers speak for themselves
Changing the way warehouse operators work leads to increased efficiency.
Estimates say that Employees working with a WMS are sometimes up to 39% more efficient than colleagues working without such a system.
The percentage of minimizing mistakes is also not insignificant, reaching as much as 99.7%. From this perspective, the investment in a WMS is certainly worthwhile.
In a warehouse supported by a WMS, work is simply better. This will therefore translate into better well-being, satisfaction and less stress for employees. You will also gain a reputation by offering competitive terms of employment.
