Overcoming Order Picking Challenges with Picking Carts
Efficient order picking is essential to streamlined warehouse operations and fulfillment productivity. However, many facilities face frustrations that hinder order picking success. Common order picking challenges include:
- Excess inventory of slow-moving SKUs takes up valuable warehouse space and bogs down picking operations
- Disorganized warehouse layouts with unclear SKU locations leads to misplaced inventory and incorrect picks, delaying orders
- Inability to pick multiple orders in batches results in inefficient routes and prevents maximizing picker productivity
- Small cart capacity and lack of customizability reduces available pick facings, requiring frequent cart changeovers that disrupt picker workflow
Overcoming these challenges is key to optimizing order picking agility and accuracy. Well-designed picking cart solutions with expanded capacity, batch picking enablement, modular configurations, and customizable layouts can directly address these common pain points to increase efficiency and throughput while improving ergonomics.
