How Honeywell Voice Picking Technology Works
Voice-directed picking creates a continuous workflow that guides associates through each task.
01
Receive the Instruction
The associate receives the next picking task through the voice headset.
02
Locate and Pick
The worker moves directly to the correct location and completes the pick while remaining hands-free.
03
Confirm the Task
The associate confirms the location, quantity, or completion using voice.
04
Continue Immediately
The system provides the next instruction without requiring the associate to stop and navigate through screens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about voice picking technology, warehouse integration, productivity, accuracy, training, and implementation.
What is voice picking?
Voice picking is a warehouse workflow technology that provides associates with spoken instructions and allows them to confirm tasks using voice. It is designed to keep employees focused on picking instead of repeatedly interacting with screens or paperwork.
How can voice picking increase lines per hour?
Voice-directed workflows can reduce unnecessary interaction with handheld devices, paper lists, and manual confirmations. This can create a more continuous workflow and allow associates to spend more time completing productive picking tasks.
Can voice picking improve accuracy?
Voice confirmations can help standardize picking procedures and verify locations, quantities, and task completion, helping reduce avoidable picking errors.
Does BCI offer Honeywell Voice Picking Technology?
Yes. BCI provides voice solutions using Honeywell Voice Picking Technology and can assist with assessment, solution design, deployment, integration planning, training, and support.
Can voice technology work with our existing WMS?
Voice solutions can often be integrated with existing warehouse and enterprise systems. BCI can review your current environment and determine the appropriate integration approach.
Is voice picking suitable for cold storage?
Voice-directed workflows can be especially valuable in cold-storage and freezer environments because associates can receive instructions while remaining hands-free and reducing interaction with screens.
How long does a BCI Voice Workflow Assessment take?
The initial assessment can be completed in approximately 15 minutes and is designed to identify your current workflow, productivity objectives, operational challenges, and potential voice-picking opportunities.
What equipment is needed for voice picking?
A voice picking solution typically includes a voice-enabled mobile device, wireless headset, microphone, and warehouse software integration. BCI can evaluate your existing technology environment and recommend the appropriate Honeywell Voice hardware, software, and accessories based on your warehouse workflow, operating conditions, and WMS or ERP requirements.
How does voice picking compare with barcode scanning?
Voice picking and barcode scanning can work together rather than replace one another. Barcode scanning verifies products and locations, while voice technology delivers real-time instructions and allows associates to confirm tasks hands-free. BCI can design a workflow that combines voice, barcode scanning, and existing warehouse systems to improve picking speed, accuracy, and productivity.
How quickly can warehouse employees learn voice picking?
Voice-directed workflows are designed to provide associates with clear, step-by-step instructions, which can help simplify onboarding and reduce training time. Because workers receive instructions directly through the headset, they can spend less time learning complex screen navigation or paper-based procedures. Actual training time varies by operation, workflow complexity, and employee experience, and BCI can help configure the solution around your workforce.
