Re: WMS wave picking

It is a home grown system that we add onto as new requirements come up.
They want to pick and pack more efficiently and I kind of jumped in with a
solution that really does not work. Now that I think about it more I think
I see the disconnect. Once you pick multiple orders onto a cart you lose
the connection between individual orders and the pick from locations.

What WMS are you using?

Basically, if you need to track to that level, your items need to be
barcoded and you scan from the pallets to the cart. Then you scan the
items as you pack the boxes. Otherwise, the best you can do is guess.

Subject: WMS wave picking

how do shops handle wave picking in a WMS?

When an order is packed and shipped I want to retain info about the
pallets that items were picked from to fulfill that order. Especially I
want to know the lot number of the items that were shipped.

When a wave of orders are picked, how to retain the pick from information?
As I understand wave picking, multiple orders are picked to a cart. Then
the orders are packed from the cart. You can retain the pallet IDs and
quantities picked to the cart. But only as summary totals.

thanks,
