Increased Bath & Body Works Pick Efficiency using VCO Light-Directed Solutions
Challenges Faced :
Bath & Body Works wanted to increase their daily order picking throughput to handle peak. They needed a robust solution.
- To improve pick UPH (units per hour)
- To achieve daily throughput during Peak
- To improve picking accuracy
VCO’s Approach
VCO Light-Directed Solution vs RF
We ran a comparison between VCO Light Directed picking vs traditional RF based picking utilizing two pickers with similar skills. On day one, first operator used VCO Light Directed picking and the other used RF. The next day, they switched roles. On both days, the picker using VCO produced 1.7 times the UPH over the other
Results
25 Pick Carts Installed , 950 Lights , 100+ Stores in Canada
Using VCO solutions it has resulted in 70% increase in picking UPH and 99.9% accuracy in picking
Minimal Learning Curve
It takes only a few hours for pickers to get accustomed with VCO Light Directed picking solution and to achieve their top speed.
Hands-Free Operations
Ring scanners replace the Handheld scanners and make the pickers more productive as both of their hands are free.
Multi-Order Picking
Allows bulk-picking a SKU for multiple orders and then, distributing across orders. This significantly reduces the travel time and number of grabs.
