At The Shippers Group, we look for ways to improve productivity. More efficient operations render cost savings we can pass along to our customers. Savings from layer pickers result from rapid speed of picking and improved accuracy but also from fewer injuries of manual labor. These are compelling reasons that led us to install layer pickers in our Wintergreen and Austell distribution facilities.

Speed and accuracy of the warehouse staff are keys to successful and profitable warehouse operations. Voice picking systems improve picking accuracy and efficiency. Pick-to-voice systems allow warehouse operators to focus on the picking process without looking at paper or a computer screen and use both hands to perform the pick.
