Study on the Implementation of Intelligent Methods for Order Preparation

Abstract

Order preparation is a process of great impact in warehouses, this is because organizations always seek to provide a quality service, which today goes hand in hand with a fast delivery. Therefore, the objective of this article is to develop a mobile app that has the ability to read barcodes to complete purchase orders, and simultaneously generate a receipt that helps speed up the process. Its operation is simple and full of visual aspects that allow a practical handling of the app. The methodology was established by virtue of an experiment in which it is sought to affirm that the designed application helps to improve the order preparation time. As a result of the study that was carried out, it was possible to define that the implementation of the method supported by the application confirms that its contributions provide great benefits, its level of precision is not affected by the application and its investment costs vary only by 42% compared to traditional picking method. In conclusion, it is possible to interpret that the level of precision when using the application was 2.4 times more efficient than the traditional process.
