Enhanced functionality in Dematic's PickDirector 3.1 increases order fulfillment performance and expands the ability to operate multiple order fulfillment technologies on one software platform. PickDirector 3.1 supports light directed picking (pick-to-light and put-to-light), voice directed picking, pick carts, as well as RF (radio frequency) directed picking through a single software platform. Companies can now control all order fulfillment activities through a single software system. "Companies can now choose the right paperless picking technology for their facilities to best match their needs, whether its voice, lights, or RF," said George Feigley, manager IT logistics for Dematic. "They can use any of them from a single system. This gives them a much greater level of flexibility as they can apply the right picking technology to specific areas and dynamically adjust as conditions change." As an example, fast moving SKUs with high density slot locations can be picked using light directed technology, while slow-medium velocity SKUs with low density slot locations can be picked with voice directed technology. Dematic's approach to order fulfillment of allowing multiple picking technologies on a single software platform can greatly improve productivity and order accuracy. "With PickDirector 3.1, the cost of having multiple control systems is removed and a company can monitor picking progress across the various picking methods," added Dematic Feigley. "Supervisors can view display screens that track order details, status, progress, and other factors and dynamically adjust the number of order pickers in a zone to optimize throughput."
