Automated warehouse pick-list generation

Purpose

1. Automate the real-time generation of warehouse pick-lists based on open polymer orders, reducing manual mistakes and improving order fulfillment speed.

2. Automates the translation of sales, inventory, and delivery data into actionable picking instructions tailored to item location and weight compliance.

3. Automate the notification of generated pick-lists to warehouse staff across platforms (mobile, print, digital signage).

4. Automating workflow governance for approvals, partial picks, and exception management to prevent bottlenecks.

5. Automates error-checking for SKUs, batches, and packaging in line with materials safety compliance requirements.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automatedly triggered by new sales order entry into ERP or POS.

2. Inventory level changes detected beyond reorder thresholds.

3. Automated schedule (e.g., every hour or end-of-day batching).

4. Manual trigger via warehouse manager override or expedited order flag.

5. Automating sync with third-party logistic provider's ETA updates.
