Shakespere said, \u201cA rose by any other name would smell as sweet.\u201d\u00a0Problem is, whether it\u2019s called \u201csingle pick\u201d, or \u201cbroken case pick\u201d, or \u201crepack\u201d, not even Shakespere would call anything resembling less-than-case picking a \u201crose\u201d!\u00a0He may suggest a thorn\u2026?<\/p>\n

That old adage is now officially proven false\u2026because PiecePick\u00ae actually INCREASES the number of touches and at the same time, INCREASES productivity.<\/p>\n
The secret is in the definition of the word \u201ctouch\u201d.\u00a0Specifically, how much time is involved in each touch?\u00a0And how much product is actually picked once the operator is in front of the pick slot?\u00a0A touch, for example, that requires an operator to move horizontally and\/or vertically for several seconds before making a pick of one or two units will have a much lower pick rate than someone who moves only two or three steps and picks 10 or more units.<\/p>\n
PiecePick\u00ae focuses on touches that require one or two seconds of movement between picks as well as larger pick quantities, sometimes twenty to thirty times more quantity per stop.<\/p>\n
Studies suggest the following results:<\/p>\n
