Voiteq, global providers of voicedirected work solutions, has been named as the Supply Chain Excellence Awards’ Order Picking Innovation Winner 2018, in conjunction with its customer Crown Paints.
Judges heard how retailers are continuously challenging manufacturers of consumer goods to make more frequent, smaller deliveries. This has led to an increased proportion of case picks and mixed pallets in the manufacturers warehouse. By working in partnership with Voiteq to utilise voice along with volumetric and weight information, Crown Paints – now part of a world leading coating specialist Hempel – saw an opportunity to provide its customers with the ‘perfect pallet’ that would ultimately improve their productivity and efficiency.
Voiteq delivered an initial 8-week VoiceMan Warehouse Execution System (WES) pilot which used data to automate and voice-direct operatives in the warehouse, through an optimised pallet-building process.
The Order Picking Innovation Award was awarded for the use of technology in a new and innovative way, as well as celebrating the results which surpassed targets of maintaining accuracy and achieving significant productivity improvements of double-digit success. The award also highlights the strong partnership between both Voiteq and Crown Paints in their collaborative approach.
Isabel McCabe, managing director at Voiteq UK, who was presented with the award on behalf of Voiteq and Crown Paints comments; “I’m extremely proud to receive this award as it celebrates the true working partnership we have with Crown Paints and gives recognition to the teams who have made this solution work so well.”
