Process optimisation in order picking: Smart solutions for sustainable efficiency

Technology, ergonomics and safety enable a new level of productivity in your warehouse.

In most warehouses, picking is an area with great potential for optimisation. Save valuable time searching for items, running back and forth between shelves and documenting individual steps with smart processes - and experience how this significantly increases efficiency, safety, added value and, not least, employee satisfaction in your warehouse.

These are the TOP 5 challenges for successful order picking in intralogistics:

Complexity of the data basis: Only those who know their data and processes precisely can decide which is the best picking strategy.
Digitisation and automation: The smart definition of packing processes, sequences and optimally fitting load carriers is a great challenge - but also a great optimization opportunity for your picking processes. Especially in the context of automation solutions, however, it is important to consider aspects such as precise gripping processes.
Energy: Maximum availability is a basic requirement for reliable order picking. This requires smart energy management to be convincing even in multi-shift operation.
Safety: Order picking areas often have a high volume of traffic. Clear processes are needed to ensure that people and vehicles can work together efficiently and without accidents.
Ergonomics: Order picking is a physically demanding job. Long walking distances and frequent bending and lifting are a strain on employees' health.

Is your order picking process already smartly optimised?

Every company is different, so processes and their optimisation are always individual. We can advise you on a step-by-step intralogistics optimisation process to suit your situation. Raise your intralogistics to the next level!

Smart solutions for the optimisation of your order picking

Analysis and strategy optimisation in your order picking tasks

Recognizing inefficient processes, identifying optimisation potential, and deriving the optimal order picking strategy - these are the first steps on the way to efficient picking. We are happy to support you in this process and implement the optimisations together with you - e.g., separating the picking zones from the rest of the warehouse or relocating fast-moving goods to the floor area.

More efficiency thanks to standardisation and automation

Standardisation in order picking is an essential key to optimised processes. Whether in determining the load carriers or the packing sequences - clearly defined processes minimize sources of error, increase efficiency, and reduce the workload of employees. The same applies to the use of partially or fully automated solutions for picking and transport.

Maximum availability thanks to efficient energy solutions

The availability of your vehicles depends to a large extent on the right energy concept. Let us determine together what the most efficient solution for your order picking looks like.

Safety for human and machine

Prevent accidents specifically and effectively - with clear processes, proactive safety precautions and hands-on training.

Ergonomics and workplace optimisation

Take the strain off your employees in the best possible way - for the health of your workforce, high productivity, and sustainable satisfaction. In addition to the optimisation of walking routes, the targeted use of ergonomic aids and the optimization of workplaces also contribute to this. Give it a try - your employees will thank you for it.
