Sorting: Case Study

Order Sorting for DHL: Global Transport and Logistics A professional company involved in transport, delivery, and various logistics services, DHL approached us to optimize order preparation management for an e-commerce retailer.

How to Improve Order Sorting?

Client’s Needs:

Save time in the sorting process,
Reduce order preparation errors,
Make the task easier for order pickers

Client’s Context:
The order picker works in a designated area and processes 50 orders simultaneously. Orders are sorted using sorting racks, where products are reassigned to their respective orders by scanning them and using barcode-addressed locations.

Challenges Faced:
  • Order Preparation Errors: Incorrect product placement within the sorting rack leads to incorrect orders.
  • Productivity Issues: Locating the correct placement takes time for the picker.
  • Workload & Strain: Visual fatigue and time loss when searching for the correct barcode.
Our Solutions:

Ensuring Reliable Web Order Preparation

Implementation of the Go-to-Light System

We added our LED-based light-guided system to the 4 sorting racks. 

The drop-off locations are visually indicated using this pick-to-light system. Users have expressed high satisfaction, stating: “The solution is easier and more visual to use.”

 

Validation of Drop-off via Motion Detection:

The product is automatically placed in the correct location. A presence detection system validates the drop-off or indicates if there is an error.

They were able to quickly adapt and meet all additional requests, even with our 2009 WMS, which makes modifications a bit more complex.

The Advantages of Pickeos for Order Sorting

To ensure order preparation accuracy and avoid omissions, the picker can easily display the number of missing items and highlight the locations on the sorting wall with the required quantities.

Drop-off Validation via Motion Detection:
Tracking screens have been installed to inform managers of the current task, any anomalies, the number of items processed, and the number of items remaining.
This data is consolidated to measure the company’s performance.
