Case Picking

What Is Case Picking?

In case picking, workers pick the product in full case or carton quantities from various storage mediums: pallet positions, carton flow, and shelving. Most operations pick fast movers from pallet positions, medium to slow movers from carton flow, and slow-moving products from static industrial shelving. When workers pick product, they typically pick the item to a pallet, cart or conveyor. As the picker travels the aisles selecting product, orders are grouped and sequenced for shipping.

Where is Case Picking Used?

Case picking is common in distribution centers serving retail or online stores. Third-party logistics (3PL) providers, big-box store suppliers, beer and liquor distributors, and many other businesses devote a significant portion of their warehouses to case picking.

However, case picking operations face a major challenge– with all those cartons comes an ever-growing footprint.

  • How can distributors ensure a fast, accurate case pick that meets customer expectations without surrendering large portions of warehouse or distribution center space to case storage?
  • And how can distributors alleviate the strain case picks place on workforces to keep both teams and customers happy?
