Optimizing Forklift Workflow for Split-Case Picking

Split-case picking, as one of the most labor and equipment intensive links in modern warehousing operations, often faces problems such as unbalanced task allocation, high idle driving rate of forklifts, and unsmooth handover between links, which drag down the overall operation efficiency. To optimize the forklift workflow for this scenario, enterprises can start from multiple practical and safe dimensions without additional unnecessary investment. First, carry out reasonable wave sorting of picking orders according to the storage location of scattered goods, concentrate orders belonging to the same storage area within a certain time period, and assign them to the same forklift for execution, which can greatly reduce the repeated cross-area driving of forklifts. Second, make a clear operation SOP for forklift operators, specify the reasonable driving speed in different operation areas, the standard goods picking and placing actions, to avoid redundant operation actions that consume extra time and power. Third, build a dynamic task scheduling mechanism, arrange real-time task matching for forklifts that have just completed the current picking task nearby, to avoid long-time idle waiting. When selecting applicable operation equipment, BYD Forklift can provide stable power support for long-time continuous split-case picking operations, effectively reducing the interruption rate of operation caused by equipment failures.
