Wave Picking

Coordinated picking strategy based on scheduled waves.

Wave picking organises order picking into timed “waves” throughout the day, often aligned with carrier cut-offs, packing capacity, or delivery schedules. This helps manage workload and reduce congestion. For example, a warehouse may schedule three picking waves per day: one for next-day delivery orders, one for international shipments, and one for standard delivery.
