How Zesty Works
Zesty uses wearable devices with advanced speech recognition and voice-directed technology. When activated, the system provides voice instructions that guide warehouse workers to specific locations and items for picking. Workers confirm each action verbally, with responses validated through speech recognition.
The system continuously optimises pick paths and monitors performance—ensuring faster fulfilment and reducing picking errors.
Addressing Inefficiencies in Order Picking
Traditional picking methods often result in significant inefficiencies, with workers spending up to 70% of their time travelling and searching for items. Zesty’s Pick-by-Voice solution eliminates these inefficiencies by enabling workers to operate hands-free with real-time voice guidance—reducing travel time, increasing productivity, and improving picking accuracy by up to 85%.
By removing the need for paper, handheld devices, and manual tracking, Zesty also reduces training time and supports safer, more ergonomic workflows.
