Numina Group at Modex 2012, Launches 'Lean' Distribution Automation Practices

WOODRIDGE, IL - Debuting at the Modex 2012 trade show taking place February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta, the newest innovation in distribution automation will be demoed by the Numina Group in booth 1127. The 'Lean' Pick, Pack, and Ship system compiles several fulfillment processes, including pick to light and order verification, into one smooth step, increasing productivity and profitability, while decreasing error rates and the number of touches. Not only does this system encompass a number of highly desirable warehouse automation features, such as hands-free, speaker independent voice, the application module can be installed rapidly with zero operator training requirements.

Numina Group’s design approach is to “Lean” the process to lower the number of steps and touches required to complete order picking tasks. After improving the pick, pack, and ship process, automation is evaluated to access the productivity improvements available to the operation. Numina Group calls this lean process improvement - automation enhanced. Results: streamlined pick, pack, and ship into one lean process, with a focus on lowering material handling equipment requirements.

Dan Hanrahan President of Numina Group described the company’s philosophy, "We're looking to supply clients’ better distribution process design and practices. When customers come back to us, with performance data that exceeded the design specifications and higher order accuracies we know the solutions are delivering higher operational profitability and a faster ROI, we know we are doing the right things!"

Numina Group’s latest cutting edge Smart Pick Cart™ a lean picking technology can be used in place of conveyor systems. The product will be showcased at the Modex 2012 show. Smart Pick Cart™ provides an order picking solution utilizing voice picking and the option to enhance the speed of the pick process by combining wireless pick and put to light functionality. The system supports batch picking of 12 or more orders to increase order picking productivity speeds by 30% over voice only picking, making the Smart Pick Cart™ a valuable tool for increasing order fulfillment rates.

"We can't wait to show our newest innovation in making order fulfillment easier, faster, and more cost effective. We're also giving all Modex 2012 show attendees a 10% discount on a user's license, which makes implementing this technology an even simpler choice," said Dan Hanrahan, President of Numina Group (http://www.numinagroup.com.)
