Vitech Increases Ability To Extend Voice Beyond Picking

BELLINGHAM, Wa. (February 9, 2011) – Vitech Business Group, Inc., an industry leader in supply chain expertise and voice directed distribution solutions, is pleased to announce its adoption of Vocollect's next generation voice-centric solution set. Working with Vocollect on the new platform as an early adopter and field trial participant enabled Vitech to quickly incorporate the new technology into its solution portfolio. Since 2005, Vitech has been at the forefront of expanding voice directed work into areas beyond picking with success extending voice to putaway, replenishment, put to store, loading, cycle counting, receiving, and audit.

"The new generation of Vocollect Voice technology will enable Vitech to continue our momentum of moving voice into workflows outside of picking,” adds Vitech Principal Richard Stewart. “Now we can more readily incorporate parallel technology such as screens, scanners or printers into these processes."

Among the many benefits cited by Vocollect, the Next Generation Vocollect Voice Solution enables:

•	Productivity gains of 10-20 percent in picking and >99 percent accuracy.
•	Industry-leading speech recognition that, in comparison with untrained (speaker-independent) systems, provides >US $450 savings per user per year when picking cases and >US $2400 savings per user per year when picking piece items.
•	Multi-function, voice-centric workflows that enable workers to add complementary functions (e.g., barcode scanning, screens, keypads, RFID) as needed for specific workflows.
•	Optimization of real-time operations via host-updates or worker-interrupts such as let-down requests, order and assignment changes, and exception requests/approvals.
•	Open, standards-based IT interfaces (e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP, web services) that can enable client and voice-management interaction with multiple enterprise applications concurrently for workflow management, labor information, images and diagrams, real-time dashboards, and alerts.
