Goods to person is used to describe a traditional method of filling orders that delivers product to an order picker or customer at a retail pick-up location. This can also be referred to as a “goods-to-picker” system.
Goods to person systems remove much of the walking and human intervention from the order fulfillment process, resulting in improved efficiency and error reduction.
A warehouse control system (WCS) can use machinery to automate the process. Carousels, conveyors and robots are types of equipment used with a warehouse control system for a goods to person strategy.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) are also used to retrieve goods from shelves and deliver them to an order picker’s workstation.
