Increase Productivity
SyVox Speech Recognition software enables picking personnel to perform their jobs faster and with greater accuracy. With the hands-free operation provided by SyVox, no time is wasted handling paper or devices. Eyes-free operation enables a worker to locate a product and keep their eyes focused on it to virtually eliminate wrong product picks. When compared to paper-picking, incorrect picks can be reduced by as much as80%. Data collected by SyVox can be communicated to an ERP/WMS providing real-time inventory visibility.
Improve Safety
Eyes-free data collection enables picking personnel to keep their heads up instead of looking down to read a paper picking sheet or mobile computer display. Users can be more focused on what they are doing and where they are going to improve safety in the picking environment.
Flexible and Easy to Integrate
Speech technology is in use by thousands of warehouse workers at some of the world's leading companies, and speech recognition can be installed into any facility, even if you're using a batch process, WMS, or legacy system. The system is tolerant to the variable noise levels present in an industrial environment. SyVox operates on a wide variety of standard off-the -shelf Windows CE and Windows Mobile computers that provide the user with a variety of standard features in addition to speech recognition.
Configurable Solution
SyVox Logistics is a very flexible and easy-to-use solution. It relies on work flow configuration instead of custom programming to quickly implement your business process using standard features. There are over 500,000 permutations of the system flow to choose from when configuring the system, which means that the configurable work flows can be matched to almost any picking process. And if your business process changes in the future, the system can be simply reconfigured to handle the new process.
The system divides a work flow or task into the following four operations:
Logon
Ex: '001 Picker'
Get Work (Optional)
Ex: 'Order ID 12756, Customer Wal-Mart'
Process Work
Ex: 'Go To Location A2 G1 and Say Check Digit'
Ex: '63'
Ex: '20 12 Ounce Can Pack Diet Pepsi, Pick 2
Ex: 'Got It'
End Work:
Ex: 'Take to Door A7 and Say Got It'
Ex: 'Got It'
Within the four basic operations (Logon, Get Work, Process Work and End Work), prompts and information can be handled in a wide variety of ways. Configurable special features include:
Support of multiple languages, simultaneously.
Location persistence to eliminate the repeat of location information until changed (i.e. the system can be configured to speak the aisle number only when prompting for an item in a new aisle). Dynamic text to speech allowing the construction of speech prompts built with items in the database or pick task using the 'Prompt Manager'. A trained end-user utilizes a GUI interface to select workflow options that meet the requirements of your business process. No programming is required to take advantage of standard workflow options.
Speaker Independence
SyVox Speech Recognition by Intermec is speaker independent. This powerful feature means that:
New users can be added instantly
There are no voice templates to record
No training or retraining of words is necessary
Users can switch mobile computers at will.
System Components
The diagram below illustrates the components of the SyVox solution. SyVox Logistics allows workers to hear instructions through a headset connected to a belt mounted Windows CE/Windows Mobile computer. Workers are able to communicate verbally with the Logistics package via the SyVox Speech Client over a wireless network.
The SyVox Logistics Software resides on a Windows Server. and provides the following services:
Work Flow Management, the logic which determines how work is parceled out to individual workers, prompts the worker through a work task, and handles exceptions.
SyVox Voice XML interface, the interface by which SyVox software communicates with the enterprise system (WMS/ERP).
The Administration Console which provides real-time and summary productivity reports to warehouse management personnel and allows the priority, release date/time, and or status (released, held, etc.) of a pick assignment to be changed locally.
SyVox Application Modules provide the industry specific speech recognition applications. The applications contain configurable business rules for handling a variety of operational scenarios. Applications for Picking and Cycle Count are available today. Picking options include support for multiple picking strategies such as straight line picking, batch picking, zone picking and multiple belt picking.
