Picking & Packing

Scales and weighing equipment for order picking and packing

With around 55% of the costs of warehouse operation typically involved in picking and packing, it is vital that the process is as efficient as possible.

Employing appropriate weighing technology in warehouse environments can improve shipping and billing accuracy and enhance overall workflow productivity. Minimising the movement of product, keeping a better track of inventory and reducing the need to rework packages all has a direct impact on your bottom line.

We understand that implementing a verification process that slows down picking operations is not an option. Avery Weigh-Tronix offers a picking solution which aims to drastically improve picking accuracy at the point of pick. The system, which features barcode scanning, weight verification and varying levels of WMS integration, helps to avoid errors that require repacking or shipping checks, allowing quality control to be achieved as a single touch.

WMS integration, barcode scanning and a highly accurate scale for weight verification, provides the user with a quick and simple way to validate that an order has been picked correctly.

Completely configurable, our mobile workstation has the power to integrate with existing pick management tools such as Pick to Voice/Pick to Light, features various levels of integration with WMS stock data and is available as a manual or powered picking cart in a variety of sizes, to fit the requirements of the operation.

As well as verifying picking accuracy, the solution enables real-time inventory control, eliminating the costly efforts associated with inventory counts, audits, or wall-to-wall stock checks.
