Voices

by 14 percent and our workers' compensation claim rate has dropped. There is a
direct reduction in cost related to improving
productivity and accuracy."
In early 2002, P.D.I. installed Blue
Streak, a firmware that enables its voice
system to understand fluctuations in voice
better. In a refrigerated warehouse environment, there are loud cooling units, and
the purpose of Blue Streak is to filter out
the background noise.
For example, if someone drops a pallet, the system does not record it as a
number, according to Kloberdanz. He
adds that the installation was easy and
that there is a simple interface with
P.D.I.'s warehouse management system,
which is a homegrown system that uses
IBM's AS-400 platform.
Faster is better
Another voice technology user is Associate Wholesalers, Robesonia, Pa., a grocery wholesaler, which installed a voice system for order
picking this past October. Bob Rippley, vice president of logistics, says

this year A.W.I. has committed a substantial amount of capital to implement
voice selection in the areas of meat,
dairy and produce. "We replaced our
previous paper-based and key punch
system that created two opportunities
for human error," says Rippley.
He says A.W.I. handles meat and
poultry differently. Boxed beef, deli
meats and processed meats are placed
in inventory for three to four days. "For
poultry, freshness is a concern since
it has less shelf life than processed
meats. We receive two to three truckloads of raw poultry per day and handle
them in almost a cross-dock situation."
A.W.I. receives shipments and places them directly into the selection
slots. Poultry does not remain even overnight in the warehouse; it
moves in less than 24 hours. The distributor is able to select and ship
poultry in just-in-time manner with the help of voice technology.
Kloberdanz says the results of using voice technology are rewarding. "We achieved a 90-percent increase in accuracy," he says.
"Previously we had 300 to 400 mis-picks per week. Now we are

So Good, they'll be
gone in 30 seconds.
