01. Project Overview
Project Duration: 1 month
Project Type: Warehouse & Darkstore Fulfillment Optimization
Key Focus: Reducing fulfillment time and increasing SKU count using IoT and pilot indicators.
02.Challenge
A warehouse and darkstore operation sought to enhance its efficiency by:
- Reducing fulfillment time: Speeding up order processing from order receipt to handover to the delivery personnel.
- Increasing SKU capacity: Maximizing storage and organization without compromising accessibility and speed.
Traditional order-picking methods led to delays and inefficiencies, requiring an intelligent system to optimize workflow.
03. Solution
1Accord deployed IoT-powered smart fulfillment solutions to improve speed and accuracy:
Dedicated IoT Devices for SKUs:
Each SKU was assigned a dedicated device to ensure seamless order identification and retrieval.Pilot Indicators for Order Processing:
- Each new order triggered a unique color-coded signal on the pilot indicators.
- Pickers could instantly identify which items to collect, reducing search time.
Real-Time Order Management:
The integration of smart indicators enabled quick identification, reducing the lag between order placement and fulfillment.
04.Implementation
Rapid System Deployment:
The entire system, including IoT devices and pilot indicators, was implemented within a month.On-Ground Training:
Warehouse staff were trained to interpret and respond to the pilot indicators efficiently.Optimization & Scalability:
The system was designed for scalability, allowing the warehouse to increase SKU count while maintaining speed.
05. Results
- Faster Order Fulfillment: Significant reduction in processing time, streamlining operations.
- Increased SKU Capacity: Optimized storage allowed for more SKUs without disrupting workflow.
- Improved Accuracy: Color-coded indicators reduced errors and enhanced order-picking efficiency.
