   • Picking Systems This section gives a simple introduction to picking systems. The simplest picking method is to have a person look at the shipping instruction form (picking list) and search for the products. However, there is a high chance of worker-caused mistakes occurring and the method takes time and effort. At present, many different picking systems are used according to the purpose and products.

3. There are two picking methods

   • the individual selection method in which the products are collected individually for each shipping destination and the total selection method in which the products collected in advance are classified by shipping destination.
   • This method is optimal for shipping a large amount of a few types of products to a small number of destinations. Products are collected in bulk so the burden on workers can be lessened,

4. List Picking The most basic picking method in which a person looks at the shipping instruction form (picking list), checks the product names and quantities, and searches for the products. This method is easy to implement, but it depends on the accuracy and speed of the worker, and the chance of worker-caused mistakes also increases. To prevent mistakes, checks are required, such as inspecting products with barcodes, before the products are shipped.

5. Digital Picking System (DPS) In this picking method, digital displays are attached to racks that store cargo and products, and the products are collected according to the instructions on the displays. An advantage of this system is that workers can perform the work easily without any experience because they simply pick the products while looking at the indicators and worker-caused mistakes are kept to a minimum. This system is also desirable because it can be easily adopted and displays can be attached to any storage location
