Automated picking refers to the use of technology, such as robots and conveyor systems, to select and retrieve items from storage locations in warehouses. This process enhances efficiency by reducing the time and labor required for manual picking, allowing for faster order fulfillment. In automated picking systems, machines are programmed to identify and collect products based on specific criteria. These systems often integrate with inventory management software, ensuring accurate tracking of items like boxes, pallets, and shelves. This technology is increasingly adopted in industries like e-commerce and retail to streamline operations and improve productivity.
