RedPrairie Adds Vocollect VoiceArtisan Support To Its 2011.1 Warehouse Management Release
Enhancement expands voice-enabled selection, put-away, replenishment, loading, and cycle-counting functionality
RedPrairie Corporation, a productivity solutions provider, announced recently that it will support VoiceArtisan development environment technology from Vocollect, a business unit of Intermec, Inc., as part of Vocollect's recently introduced Next Generation Vocollect Voice solution set. A key enhancement to RedPrairie's Warehouse Management 2011.1 release, VoiceArtisan enables faster development of voice workflows and reinforces RedPrairie's efforts in the area of voice workflow development.
Designed to further an established agenda of superior usability across its suite of solutions, this offering allows RedPrairie customers to utilize a greatly expanded portfolio of distribution workflow solutions from Vocollect to benefit its install base.
"RedPrairie's embrace of Vocollect VoiceArtisan is a gamechanger for us, allowing us to offer the greatest number of workflows on the most mobile computers of any WMS company," said Scott Zickert, product manager, distribution products, RedPrairie Corporation. "VoiceArtisan provides numerous benefits that extend our functional and technical offerings to customers seeking a voice-centric approach to solving their supply chain business issues."
RedPrairie's newest voice solution utilizing VoiceArtisan will support several voice-enabled workflows, including selection (directed, manual, and cluster picking, put-to-store, pick and pass), put-away, replenishment, loading and cycle-counting. VoiceArtisan provides the ability to integrate voice tasks more quickly and efficiently.
"We are pleased that RedPrairie has committed to further increase its focus on voice, helping its customers to capitalize on the benefits of a voice-centric warehouse," said Tom Murray, vice president, product management and marketing, Vocollect, Inc. "In many workflows beyond selection, we have customers reporting double-digit improvements in productivity and accuracy, significantly reduced training time, and attractive return on investment."
Potential users can view Warehouse Management's many new applications by attending this year's ProMat in Chicago from March 21-24, and scheduling a demo at RedPrairie booth #3676.
