Efficient order picking processes and the role of Eastern European temporary workers

Order picking in the warehouse is a central process in the logistics. It involves assembling goods according to customer orders. Efficient order picking saves time, reduces errors and increases customer satisfaction. What are the order picking processes in the warehouse? In this article we will look at the most important aspects of the work of order pickers in the warehouse and the advantages of using Eastern European subcontractors.

What is picking?

Order picking is the process of removing products from the warehouse and preparing them for shipment, assembling the goods according to the requirements of customer orders. There are various order picking methods, including manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic systems.

Manual picking

In manual picking, warehouse workers remove the goods from the shelves. This method is flexible, but also time-consuming and prone to errors.

Semi-automatic order picking

Mechanical aids such as conveyor belts or order picking trolleys are sometimes used. This method is more efficient than the manual method, but still relies on human labor.

Fully automatic order picking

In fully automated systems, machines and robots take over the entire picking process. This method is the most efficient, but requires high initial investment and regular maintenance.

Advantages of picking in the warehouse

Efficient picking is a key area in logistics. Efficient picking offers many advantages:

• Time saving: fast assembly of goods reduces delivery times.
• Error reduction: automated systems reduce the error rate
• Cost savings: efficient processes reduce operating costs.
• Customer satisfaction: faster and error-free deliveries increase customer satisfaction.

These advantages optimize the entire warehouse logistics and increase business success.
