Hands-free voice technology

Financial director, Paul Holliday, explains: "Our business is growing, and although we were already achieving 99.92 percent accuracy using our old paper system, our aim is to further improve our picking accuracy while increasing our efficiency. We looked at barcoding and voice and preferred hands-free technology for our operation, as it saves time by guiding our people round the warehouse, paper-free. Renovotec used their logistics knowledge to appraise our warehouse processes before implementing the new technology.”

Renovotec is a leading exponent of automatic data capture (AIDC) on rugged and mobile hardware using voice, scanning and RFID technology. Its lower-cost-of-entry, out-of-the-box Voice Manager system for small and medium warehouse operations uses packaged software to voice-enable picking, put-away, stock checking, movement, loading and order checking work processes. The system runs on Honeywell’s Vocollect voice technology using a task-driven engine, for which Renovotec claims a first-to-market.
