MONITORING THE ORDER PICKING PROCESSES WITH THE ELLI3 MEASUREMENT TOOL

Order picking is one of the most time -consuming activities in warehousing. Having appropriate measurements and accurate data about the real time-requests of different operations like travel t ime, searching and picking time or setup time is inevitable for making the decisions about further logistics process developments. These parameters and the correspondence between them can be unique in each warehouse. We are developing the Elli3 tool for this measurement and monitoring purposes in Szabó-Szoba R&D Laboratory at Széchenyi University Gyõr. The Android-based Elli3.COM program is running on tablet which is extended by a professional bar -code reader for the automated identificat ion of locations. In our essay we present the first successful application of the Elli3.com tool at a warehousing company.
