Pick-by-Voice is a voice-controlled order-picking process in which employees communicate with a digital system via a headset and receive work instructions via voice. It allows for hands-free performance of warehouse tasks and supports efficient order picking.

With Pick-by-Voice, information such as the storage location, item, and quantity to be picked is provided by the system via voice prompts. Confirmation of completed steps is also done via voice, eliminating the need for additional input devices. The method is used particularly in large warehouses and can be integrated with warehouse management systems. It supports low-error picking and improves ergonomics for employees.

Practical example:
A picker receives instructions via a headset to retrieve a specific item from a storage location and confirms the retrieval directly via voice command.
