Picking Flow FAQs

What algorithms / analytics / ML / AI we are using to optimise warehousing picking?

We use pick path optimisation to improve picking efficiency. 

Can we use the current nomenclature of the location or do we have to follow Increff’s nomenclature? And if we use our nomenclature would there be route optimisation?

Clients can use any nomenclature for Aisles and locations. Increff WMS takes distances of locations in aisles to do route optimisation. No repercussions as such. As long as they can give a distance of locations in aisles they can benefit from our picking algorithm. Also if you follow our suggestive nomenclature it will be easy to do multi-level sorting. But again depends on case to case as well.

How can ensure a picker is allocated orders and not items?

How does your system release the pigeon hole?

Pigeon hole picking is there.

How does the system follow FIFO in case the same SKUs with different inward dates are kept in the same bin?

Is the pick path optimised through ABC analysis? What factors are considered for the Optimisation?
