Wave Picking
Logistics
Wave Picking
Releasing groups of orders for picking in coordinated waves based on carrier, route, cutoff or workload.
Examples
- 01Wave picking releases all orders for the 14:00 truck in one wave, so they are picked, packed and staged in time.
- 02For wave picking, the warehouse review checks whether each wave finishes before its truck cutoff and how much staging space it needs.
- 03Splitting the afternoon wave into two smaller wave picking runs ends the daily rush at the shipping dock.
