In a bustling 3PL warehouse, every step counts and every second matters. How do you make that time more rewarding for everyone involved in the process? Alex ODell, Senior Vice President of Integrated Operations at CTLhas been looking for ways to improve fulfillment for quite a while now, and even looked at bringing in robots in the past. But the methodology those robots used to work with people didn’t make sense. They would have required him do spend more money and maintain more robots, and his people wouldn’t have been able to pick up their pace when picking orders all that much. But as he told our Warehouse Industry Principal, Wes Coleman, the Team Intelligence picking methodology we came up with, and the Zebra Symmetry™ Fulfillment System, made a lot of sense. More than that, it made it possible financially to give his warehouse team the assistance they needed to get orders out the door quickly. Hear more about what Alex expects to improve in his 3PL warehouse, and in our lives as consumers.

There’s a new wave of intelligent automation rolling in right now, and it’s going to make it easier for the people working in warehouse to fulfill the orders you and I place (or process and ship) every day. Wes Coleman, our Warehouse Industry Principal, spoke with Kyle Thompson, Co-Founder of Encore Fulfillment, about how he and his team plan to use a combination of robots, wearables, and new execution software (the Zebra Symmetry™ Fulfillment System) to execute a new picking methodology (Team Intelligence). Hear Kyle explain why he believes this change in how robots and people work together to pick orders will help his team increase picking efficiency by up to 50%.

Our latest move: The newly expanded Zebra Symmetry™ Fulfillment Solution!
