  1. Stationary solutions supported by automation and robotics (Goods to Person)
  2. Mobile solutions in combination with automatic or robotic systems (Person to Goods)
  3. Optimized picking routes: One of the main advantages of Codel AIDA WMS in the picking process is the ability to determine the shortest and most efficient route for pickers. This drastically reduces travel time and increases the number of orders that can be processed in one day.
  4. Zone Picking: A modern WMS supports zone picking where each picker is assigned a specific zone and only picks items within that zone. The orders are then consolidated at the packing station.
  5. Picking in batches and waves: Pickers are guided to pick up multiple orders simultaneously, maximizing their efficiency. Wave pickup, on the other hand, groups orders together to be picked up in one pass.
  6. Real-time inventory updates: As items are picked, inventory levels are updated in real-time, ensuring that inventory levels are always accurate.
  7. Error reduction: Codel AIDA WMS typically integrates with barcode scanning systems or RFID, meaning pickers are frequently prompted to confirm item selection, drastically reducing the chance of errors.
  8. Dynamic Positioning: Based on demand patterns, Codel AIDA WMS can recommend moving items to different locations to optimize picking.
  9. Picking Efficiency Analysis: Managers gain insights into the performance of each picker, enabling them identifying areas for improvement or training needs.
