Abstract

The recent changes in customers' orders, which on one hand are becoming more frequent and on the other require smaller quantities of several products, inevitably impact the job of warehouse picking managers, who find themselves in the necessary position to satisfy a high pick volume in a short time window. Moreover, warehouse manual picking is traditionally characterized by a high human factor impact; which derives that improving such a system requires a reduction of both orders processing time and human possible errors. In this sense, a possible strategy can be the development and employment of technological systems able to support operators during their picking tours. The aim of this study is to present a new pick-to-light design solution capable of driving different operators through their activities, preventing or reducing errors by a new real-time control and alert system, based on the main potentialities of the RFID technology. After the description of the technical characteristics and of the operation of the new solution, a qualitative comparison with other existing paperless picking systems is also proposed.

新的RFID拾取光系统:操作特性和未来潜力

最近客户订单的变化，一方面变得越来越频繁，另一方面要求几种产品的数量越来越少，这不可避免地影响了仓库拣货经理的工作，他们发现自己必须在短时间内满足高拣货量。此外，仓库人工拣选传统上具有人为因素影响较大的特点;由此得出，改进这样一个系统需要减少订单处理时间和人为可能出现的错误。从这个意义上说，一种可能的策略是开发和使用能够在采收旅行期间支持操作员的技术系统。本研究的目的是提出一种新的选择光设计解决方案，能够驱动不同的操作员通过他们的活动，防止或减少错误，通过一个新的实时控制和警报系统，基于RFID技术的主要潜力。在描述了新方案的技术特点和操作之后，还提出了与其他现有无纸采摘系统的定性比较。
