Voice picking training now available

Dematic (www.realtimelogistics.com.au) has begun offering a range of training tools to help Australian and New Zealand distribution centres (DC) have their staff operating on voice picking faster, easier and at a lower cost.

Dematic’s voice training includes Honeywell’s Vocollect RapidStart and Vocollect Academy programs, which contain step-by-step instructional guides and visual support tools for rapid and independent training of DC staff using voice technology in the warehouse.

RapidStart is a new capability provided with Honeywell’s Vocollect VoiceCatalyst software to enable quicker training for new staff and seasonal workers, making it a valuable tool for DC during peak operational periods. RapidStart eliminates the need for lengthy training by supervisors or other staff members.

Honeywell’s Vocollect Academy continues to gain high praise for its comprehensive, end-to-end online training capabilities. New and existing warehouse employees log onto a secure, 24/7 online portal and are guided through a series of instructional briefings that inform them of the practical aspects of using Voice solutions, such as operator use, care, storage, product updates.

Brian Lang, Dematic’s general manager of real time logistics, said: “Training is an essential component of successfully getting new staff up to speed on voice equipment so they are able to start offering the highest level of productivity as soon as possible,” Mr Lang said. “A quick turn-around on worker productivity will greatly help DC managers, changing supply chain models and industry regulations.”
