Aldata's G.O.L.D Vocal PDA won Best Solution in the ISV category, communications and mobility, at IT Europa's European IT Excellence Awards.

The solution enables warehouse operators to use PDA terminals with headsets to receive and transmit voice commands to the Warehouse Management System, which has complete visibility of the operators and the warehouse stock.

It has also been proven to reduce the number of pick rate errors. Alain Robeau, support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services director, Leclerc Lecasud, said: "The voice order picking solution that has recently gone into production at Leclerc Lecasud operates in a PDA environment. We already have experience with a voice solution with voice-dedicated terminals but Aldata's PDA solution appealed to us for many reasons: * Compatibility with existing systems: G.O.L.D. Vocal in a PDA environment is compatible with other picking systems that we are already using. This allows us to protect existing investments; * Independence in hardware selection: G.O.L.D. Vocal now enables us to be independent of the hardware supplier; * Speech recognition system: G.O.L.D. Vocal is a system that operates without any voice pre-registering. This represents significant gains in time for temporary and seasonal personnel; and * Second generation voice solution future-proofs our investment: G.O.L.D. Vocal's ability to fully utilize the PDA multi-modal applications (screen, pistol, keyboard, voice, scanning, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. and barcodes, etc.) means that we can apply this technology to operations other than order picking and inventory." Robeau concluded: "The benefits brought by the implementation of this system include increased quality because the error rate is divided by eight. It has increased productivity by approximately 12 percent and improved stock management because we can integrate perpetual inventory Perpetual Inventory An accounting method of maintaining up-to-date property records that accurately reflect the level of goods on hand. Notes: The current balance of inventory is sustained daily by the addition of inventory to the account when goods are received and the during order picking. The multi-modal opportunities offered by G.O.L.D. Vocal enable us to consider redesigning other processes, such as truck loading. We can certainly see there may be additional gains in quality and productivity due to multi-modal processes, something which is not available in a voice-dedicated environment." "We are very proud of this award. It recognizes that Aldata increases efficiency in warehouses," said Jean-Francois Le Garrec, G.O.L.D. Vocal development director, Aldata Solution.
