AI-Powered Picking in Octava WMS is an intelligent automation system built to optimize the picking process in your warehouse. Using advanced algorithms, it calculates efficient walking routes and forms smart picking groups—helping your team move faster, cover less ground, and fulfill more orders with less effort.
Delivering Smart Route Planning Since 2018 — Backed by Real-World Performance.
How It Works #
Octava’s AI engine evaluates the location of every item in a picking task and creates a step-by-step route that eliminates wasted movement. It adapts to your warehouse layout, avoids backtracking, and even calculates partial aisle entry when it’s faster.
Key Benefits:
- Dynamically arranges pick routes for each batch
- Compatible with any layout or zone structure
- Minimizes walking time between picks
- Enables faster, more streamlined picking flows
Smart Order Grouping #
Instead of processing one order at a time or using rigid waves, Octava intelligently groups orders based on item proximity, volume, and picker location. This approach reduces total trips across the warehouse and increases the number of items picked per round.
How It Helps:
- Groups orders with overlapping item zones
- Increases item-per-trip efficiency
- Keeps pickers concentrated in specific areas
- Reduces idle time and unnecessary travel
Operational Benefits #
Less Time on Foot
With smarter routing and grouping, Octava significantly reduces walking distance—often by up to one-third—so more time is spent picking, not moving.
More Output per Shift
Optimized batches and streamlined routes allow your team to pick more items in less time, increasing overall throughput.
Smarter Labor Usage
You can fulfill more orders without scaling your workforce—or maintain your volume with fewer resources, cutting operational costs.
Streamlined Fulfillment
From order grouping to pick execution, Octava aligns every part of the process for greater speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
Designed for Scaling Warehouses #
Whether you’re running a small 3PL or a high-volume prep center, Octava’s AI-Powered Picking adapts to your operation and continues to optimize based on real usage data—helping you scale with confidence.
