Zone Picking

Zone Picking

Assigning pickers to specific warehouse zones.

Assigning pickers to specific warehouse zones.

Zone picking divides the warehouse into zones, with workers assigned to only pick items from their zone. Orders that require items from multiple zones are passed along or consolidated later. This method minimises picker travel and is ideal for large warehouses. For instance, if an order includes items from both Zone A and Zone C, each zone's picker handles their part before it’s sent to packing.
