Outbound process (Intra Logistics)

Route4Green

Order picking is the most costly process in warehouse operations—accounting for ~55% of total operating expenses. Route4Green directly addresses this bottleneck to deliver breakthrough efficiency.

Route4Green in the Outbound Process

1. Intelligent Picking Planning

Route4Green’s AI algorithm automatically analyzes and batches multiple orders into a single picking task based on warehouse layout—allowing one worker to collect items for multiple orders in a single trip.
Automatically groups orders scheduled for the same time (e.g., same truck or carrier) for batch processing.
Calculates the most efficient picking route—typically zigzag—ensuring continuous movement without missed zones or backtracking, minimizing walking distance.
Automatically assigns tasks to the most suitable picker or robot based on location and current workload.

2.Accurate Picking Execution

Pickers receive step-by-step instructions on handheld or wearable devices—where to go, what to pick, and how many units. System can integrate Pick-to-Light signals at shelves to further accelerate picking speed.
Pickers must scan both shelf and product barcodes. The system instantly flags errors, ensuring near-perfect accuracy (99.99%).
Inventory is updated in real time as items are picked—eliminating phantom stockouts and enabling uninterrupted sales.

3.Dynamic Re-optimization
If disruptions occur (e.g., stockout at location A, a picker calls in sick), the system IMMEDIATELY recalculates the picking plan and reassigns tasks optimally—ensuring overall progress remains unaffected.

Business Benefits

Processing Speed

Reduce walking time by 30–60%. Double the number of orders processed per shift. Meet same-day/next-day delivery service levels.

Accuracy

Eliminate 80–100% of picking errors. Avoid return, refund, and re-shipping costs—protecting brand reputation.

Cost Efficiency

Boost labor productivity, reduce headcount for the same order volume. Minimize training time thanks to guided workflows.

Transparency

Track individual performance (orders/hour, distance/shift). Monitor real-time progress of every order.

Scalability

During peak seasons or major sales, the system automatically handles large workloads without needing additional experienced coordinators.

Human

Reduce stress and fatigue for warehouse staff they no longer rush around chaotically or worry about making mistakes.
