Voice technology is available across all of Accord’s warehouse management modules, including Order Picking, Goods Receiving, Stock taking, Put Away and Picking Face replenishment

The system uses speech recognition and speech synthesis to allow workers to communicate verbally with the system.  Workers use a wireless, wearable computer with a headset and microphone, which links to the server via a radio frequency network.  In voice directed picking, for example, the order picker is instructed by voice, via the headset, what to pick and where to pick it. He then verbally confirms his actions back to the system through the microphone.

Voice technology allows users of Accord’s Warehouse Management software to maximise the benefits of real-time, hands-free and eyes-free interaction with the system. It generates major performance benefits, especially in terms of accuracy and productivity. Systems typically pay for themselves within a year of installation – often within six months.

The Accord Voice modules offer you the flexibility of taking them as part of a full Accord supply chain implementation or as a stand-alone WMS to interface to third party Order Processing and Stock systems. If you already have a suitable Warehouse Management System we can supply the Voice modules on their own, to interface to that WMS.
