Picking individual items one at a time to fulfill specific orders. It is commonly used for small and low-quantity orders. The picker moves through the warehouse and retrieves each item from its storage location.

Orders are divided into waves or groups, based on their priority or similar criteria. Each wave is assigned to a specific picking time frame. Pickers focus on picking items for one wave at a time, allowing for more efficient coordination and optimized use of resources.

Multiple orders with similar items are picked together in a single trip. The picker moves through the warehouse and collects the required quantities of each item for multiple orders simultaneously. This method improves efficiency by reducing travel time between locations.

Dividing the warehouse, each picker is assigned a specific zone. Pickers are responsible for picking items only from their designated zone. Once all the items are picked from each zone, they are consolidated to complete the order. Zone picking is beneficial for larger warehouses with a wide range of products.

Pickers use carts or totes that are pre-determined for specific orders. The picker receives a cart or tote with a list of items to be picked, and they move through the warehouse to collect the items and place them directly into the assigned cart or tote. This method reduces the need for additional sorting or packing steps.

Pickers move through the warehouse in a specific route, picking items for multiple orders but only picking items in their designated area. Once the picker completes their assigned picks, they pass the items to the next picker who continues the process.
