Pick-by-Voice (Voice-Controlled Picking)
Pick-by-Voice, also known as voice-controlled picking, is a technology where warehouse workers communicate with a computer system through a headset. This system provides verbal instructions on the items to be picked, while employees confirm or correct instructions to the system through voice recognition.
How It Works:
The Pick-by-Voice system converts data from the warehouse management system into voice commands. Employees wear a headset and a small computer, often attached to their belt. The system provides instructions, such as shelf locations and item numbers, and the employee confirms the picking using their voice. This frees up the hands and eyes of the employees, speeding up the picking process and reducing errors.
Applications in Cold Storage:
In cold storage facilities, the efficiency and accuracy of picking can be particularly critical, as employees work in extremely cold conditions, and time spent in the cold area should be minimized. Since Pick-by-Voice technology does not require paper lists or handheld scanners, employees can wear gloves, which is advantageous in cold environments. This reduces exposure to the cold while increasing productivity and accuracy.

Advantages:
- Efficiency: By reducing manual processes, picking speed can be increased.
- Accuracy: Error rates decrease since there is no need for reading and manual input.
- Ergonomics: Employees have both hands free, facilitating the lifting and handling of items.
- Flexibility: The systems can be easily adapted to various languages, which is helpful in multilingual work environments.
Disadvantages:
- Cost: The initial investment in equipment and training may be higher than with other systems.
- Technical Issues: Speech recognition systems can be impaired in noisy environments.
