Exclusively for Accellos WMS customers, Accellos introduces a new module that can improve picking efficiency by up to 30%…dramatically improving your bottom line results.
Imagine if your warehouse management system could automatically configure the best possible route for the pickers to take, and direct them on the most optimal path with no additional training. If you are a unit or case pick distributor, up to 60% of your warehouse labor costs are tied up in the pick and pack process.
What if you could reduce the picking time by 30-40% with a click of a button? Accellos has developed a solution that does just that. Accellos One Perfect Path is a new Warehouse Module that specifically focuses on the reduction of picker travel in unit and case pick distribution centers. Perfect Path allows you to realize a significant ROI within the first 3 months of implementing the solution, which to most is a "no brainer."
At a high level it does 2 things:
- Perfect Path uses the X and Y coordinates of bin locations to determine optimal pick path. Currently, your WMS determines pick path based on the relationship between bin location numbers. While this does the job, we've found that we can reduce picker travel on a single order by as much as 40% just by changing the bin location sequencing. If course, this will depend on the size of the order, number of cases, lines and your warehouse layout.
- Second, Perfect Path is a wave optimization tool. It can look at a pool of orders and determine optimal order clustering with the intent to reduce the amount of travel.
