Konsolidierassistent – Assistenzsystem für manuelle Konsolidier- und Sortierprozesse in Distributionszentren

Abstract

By the sharp increase of Internet and mail-order trading in the recent past, shipping has increasingly become the focus of process optimization. Due to the special order structure, two-step order picking systems with manual consolidation are often used. As a result of the large number of different articles in the assortment, the cognitive load on the employee is high and the process is error-prone. For this reason, an assistance system has been developed which supports the employee during the consolidation process. As part of a series of experiments, the cycle time of the process could be reduced by one third.
