How do voice systems work?
Warehouse worker downloads the task to the terminal, then the system ‘leads’ him through stages of the task (e.g. picking positions). Messages containing details of the task are voiced by the system and so are order confirmations, which are also articulated, but this time by a worker after completing the task. Co-operation of voice solution with warehouse worker is based on a dialogue that consists of defined commands. In each moment of the task, the operator can call help function which will read proper help message according to the context.
The dispatcher can analyze the status of the order and introduce necessary corrections on the spot.
Progress of picking process is defined during pre-implementation analysis and adapted to Customer’s needs. Data exchange with WMS system can take place with help of flat files (e.g. CSV), compound files (XML), Internet services (WebService) or indirect database.
