Pick To Voice (PTV) Technology

Pick to Voice is a voice system controlled by lightweight headsets that frees an operator’s hands, allowing for a safer, more focused worker. Using advanced speech recognition, our voice systems enable operators to speak naturally and easily. Voice picking and putting operations simplify critical processes such as picking, receiving, returns, cycle counting, and replenishment. The technology allows for an easy integration into current operating systems and can be adjusted as business slows or speeds. With the use of PTV (Pick to Voice), data shows an improvement in not only performance but a reduction in company operating costs. Productivity is often enhanced from 150 to 350 lines per person hour. Some of the benefits demonstrated by PTV technology are:

An accuracy level of 99.5%
Easy transition and integration with current systems
A payoff typically within less than one calendar year
A short training time of often a mere 30 minutes
An increase operator performance

How Pick To Voice (PTV) Technology Works

Our system enables warehouse operators to receive spoken instructions, confirm that their work is correct, report exceptions…all by listening and replying through a headset. This "conversation" actually transmits commands and inputs data into Exacta's® Synchronize™ Warehouse Management Software (WMS). All the translations from data into speech and back again are instantaneous. There is no manual data entry, no equipment or labels to handle, and no pick list to miss-read. The result is a dramatic improvement in operational performance, and your bottom line.
