DETAILED OPERATIONS <br /> <br />Continued <br /> <br /> The picking process begins as the WMS sends out orders in waves. Picking waves allow <br />the employees to pick a group of orders at one time, based upon shipping date, customer priority, <br />geography, etc. This allows Stanley the flexibility to pick in batches or individually and to <br />prioritize customer demand. <br /> <br /> The WMS prints out picking labels using the Zebra 140 printers, and organizes the <br />pickers path displayed on the Norand handheld RF units. When the operator arrives at a pick <br />location, a label is placed on the product, the location is then scanned to ensure accuracy, and the <br />product is placed on the conveyor net~vork. <br /> <br /> The conveyor network is a myriad of <br />conveyors laid out through five aisles, each <br />three floors high, terminating at the cross- <br />belt sorter. The first floor of the picking <br />modules are predominantly miscellaneous <br />shipping-carton picking. These large open <br />boxes full of smaller boxes are put on a <br /> <br />conveyor where it will scanned and <br />weighed, by an ACCUSORT Quadex omni- <br />directional scanner and the Toledo In-line <br />weigh scale. If the product does not fit the <br />measurements of the orders, it will be <br />diverted to a reject line ~vhere it will be <br />audited and corrected. <br /> <br /> <br />
