Mobile picking turns the operator’s cart and handheld into a guided picking station. The system builds optimized routes, shows the exact location and quantity, and records every pick in the WMS or WCS in real time. Items go straight into the right tote or carton on the cart, so consolidation time drops and accuracy rises.
An operator scans an order or batch and follows the on-screen prompts through the aisle. The cart holds multiple order slots with clear displays, making it easy to place each SKU immediately in the correct location. ARCO’s Synthesize coordinates the flow with upstream transport, while KANSI provides live KPIs for supervisors.
Mobile picking adds measurable value. Walking distances fall and operator productivity improves. Training is short because the workflow is intuitive, and the setup scales quickly when volumes grow. For operations that need speed and control without a fixed picking line, mobile picking delivers dependable throughput with clear visibility over progress and stock.

How mobile picking works in practice
Mobile Picking turns each cart into a guided workstation that connects directly to the WMS. The operator scans an order or batch, and the system creates the most efficient route through the warehouse. Displays on the cart show the correct location and quantity to pick, while scanned confirmations keep every action accurate and traceable. Each item is placed directly into the assigned tote or carton, so consolidation at the end is no longer needed. The data is updated in real time, giving supervisors full visibility of progress and performance. As order volumes rise, additional carts and routes can easily be added to maintain speed and control.
