Case Study: American Eagle Distributing improves picking accuracy and productivity with Dematic’s Beverage Pick System

Case Picking is More Efficient at American Eagle Distributing

American Eagle Distributing, a beverage distributor serving over 1,100 retail customers, faced operational complexity due to high product growth and a lack of a warehouse location scheme. To improve picking accuracy and efficiency, they turned to vendor Dematic for a solution, implementing the Dematic Beverage Pick System.

The implemented solution was a configurable, voice-directed picking system that provided operators with hands-free, verbal instructions. This technology from Dematic streamlined the entire process from picking to loading, resulting in a dramatic 70% decrease in order picking errors and a 23% increase in labor productivity, while also providing supervisors with valuable real-time operational visibility.
