Features of VoiceLink system
VoiceLink is an integrated and fully configurable system. Thanks to use of ‘region’ conception (configuration sets), warehouse dispatchers can easily adapt the process to the zone operator works in.
Besides picking, VoiceLink has other implemented functions, in which the use of voice system is possible. Processes supported by VoiceLink are:
- picking – item picking, package picking, (batch-picking), , collecting additional information about products (weight, serial number),
- put-to-store (crossdocking) –process reverse to picking, i.e. unloading pallets to specific locations (stores),
- replenishment – replenishment of picking locations from storage location,
- put-away –transfer of goods from reception zone to storage zone
- stocktaking – counting goods in locations,
- loading – registration of stacked pallets,
- loading from line – building a pallet from shipment packages and grouping products according to shipment destination.

- monitoring – supervision of warehouse and assignment status. With help of elaborate views, reports and dashboards, it is possible to follow what is happening in the warehouse and make decisions needed to perform the work you planned.

- management – current service, assignment and operator planning. The dispatcher can assign workers to specific zones, assign orders to workers, set priorities to assignments, hold on assignments, split or consolidate assignments, etc.,
