Wave Picking

Releasing groups of orders for picking in coordinated waves based on carrier, route, cutoff or workload.

Examples

  1. 01Wave picking releases all orders for the 14:00 truck in one wave, so they are picked, packed and staged in time.
  2. 02For wave picking, the warehouse review checks whether each wave finishes before its truck cutoff and how much staging space it needs.
  3. 03Splitting the afternoon wave into two smaller wave picking runs ends the daily rush at the shipping dock.
