RAVAS Pick by Weight

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Picking errors in warehouses can lead to significant costs, including lost goods, stock discrepancies, and customer dissatisfaction. RAVAS mobile scales integrated into order pick trucks help detect and correct these errors at the picking slot, minimizing correction costs.

Cost Implications of Picking Errors
Picking errors can result in financial losses reaching hundreds of thousands annually, affecting profitability. These errors lead to returned goods, stock differences, and loss of customer goodwill.

Solution: RAVAS Mobile Scales
RAVAS scales are installed in the forks of order pick trucks, allowing real-time error detection and correction. This system ensures that errors are corrected immediately at the picking location, reducing costs.

Benefits of RAVAS Scales

Immediate cost savings by eliminating picking errors.
Reduction in costs from cancelling final inspections.
Monitoring of individual picker performance.
Improved supply chain control and documented service quality.

How It Works
The scale measures the weight on the forks and communicates with the warehouse management system (WMS) via cable or WiFi. After each pick, the WMS checks the weight against the expected weight. If they match, the pick is correct; if not, an error message is sent to the picker for correction.

Integration with Voice Picking
RAVAS scales work well with voice-controlled picking systems. The picker receives instructions via headset and confirms picks by voice, triggering the system to verify the weight. Errors are communicated immediately for correction.

Compatibility and Batch Picking
RAVAS scales can be installed on any brand or model of order pick truck. For batch picking, double or triple scales are available to manage multiple orders simultaneously, reducing errors from incorrect placement.

Conclusion
RAVAS mobile weighing systems are used by various companies to minimize picking errors and improve efficiency. Interested parties are encouraged to contact RAVAS for an ROI study to determine potential savings.
