Best Practices for Managing Warehouse Automation Projects with Meredith Hanrahan at The Numina Group
by Staci Americas on Jun 12, 2023 10:00:00 AM
Chad Warzecha interviewed Meredith Hanrahan, Director of Customer Delivery at The Numina Group, a company that offers consulting services and material handling solutions to provide organizations with process improvements to reduce warehouse labor costs, eliminate errors and increase order throughput.
Meredith is heavily involved in project implementation, so offers good tips on what to do, and not to do, to manage projects smoothly.
Meredith’s team has implemented a wide range of automation projects. She is a big advocate for voice picking, and says that it is one of the more popular solutions in automation today. It’s quick and easy training for operators, and it can increase picking accuracy up to 99.5%.
She advises companies to carefully plan out when their automation project launches. You don’t want to go online two weeks before peak season. There are too many things that can go wrong. She gives some tips on avoiding that outcome.
With warehouse automation projects, she is sensitive to budget constraints, especially at smaller operations, and she talks about the importance of getting a handle on your data so that when you’re ready to automate, you can do it cheaper and faster.
