Digital picking refers to any picking process supported by technology—such as handheld scanners, tablets, voice-picking headsets, or pick-to-light systems. These tools direct pickers to the right location, quantity, and next task, often with real-time inventory syncing and error alerts. For example, a picker using a handheld scanner receives instructions like “Pick 3 units from Aisle 5, Bin 12,” and must scan the item to confirm accuracy. Digital picking increases speed, improves accuracy, and enables better data tracking compared to manual methods.
