Intelligent voice control enables efficient warehouse processes through
- Hands-free picking using voice commands and verbal confirmation
- Compatibility with all common WMS and ERP systems
- Reduced error rate thanks to clear acoustic guidance
- Multilingual support for international teams
- Pick-by-voice can also be combined with pick-by-light

How does pick-by-voice work?
The pick-by-voice system is based on state-of-the-art language recognition technology, which is implemented via mobile devices and headsets. The LNC VOICENT software communicates in real time with the warehouse management system and translates picking orders into clear voice instructions.
Employees receive information about storage positions, items, and pick quantities over the headset. Once the pick has been made, they confirm the action by voice command or say a check digit for verification. The system intelligently guides them through the warehouse and automatically optimises routes. Optionally, smart labels can provide additional visual support.

- LNC VOICENT software provides voice control and process optimisation
- Real-time connection to WMS/ERP systems provides current order data
- Voice recognition with individual voice adjustment
- The system can be combined with smart labels for visual support
