Common questions
How much does it cost to automate a warehouse
Automation quotes come back as robots, conveyors, WMS upgrades and long integration projects. The budget and the timeline both scare the CFO before anything is approved.
Start with the workflows on the WMS you already have. Device-based voice and scan automation needs no new servers, middleware or WMS changes and goes live in weeks, so the first gains do not wait on a capital project.
How to improve warehouse picking speed and accuracy
Mis-picks turn into re-picks, short shipments and returns. Speeding up the line only seems to raise the error rate.
Direct every step and confirm it. Voice tells the worker what to do next and scanning confirms the item, across picking, putaway, replenishment and cycle counts, on the WMS you already run.
Every RF screen change is an IT ticket
Each change to the RF screens or mobile setup in the WMS turns into a configuration ticket and a wait on the IT team.
Add voice and scanning on the device instead of reworking the WMS. AccuSpeech layers onto the mobile workflows you already run, so the WMS stays as it is.
Warehouse labor shortage solutions
You cannot hire enough people, the ones you hire leave, and every new hire takes weeks to get productive.
Make each worker more productive and get new hires working on day one. Voice-directed workflows with no voice training help the team you have do more. Automation that empowers workers, not one that replaces them.
Warehouse automation without changing your WMS
Every automation vendor wants WMS changes, custom integration or a migration first. IT says no, or says next year.
Look for automation that layers onto the WMS as it is. AccuSpeech is 100% device-based and works with 50+ WMS platforms, legacy or modern, with no backend changes.
