Case Study: Americold achieves higher productivity and accuracy with Honeywell Vocollect Voice

Americold - Customer Case Study

Americold, the global leader in temperature-controlled warehousing, needed a picking solution that would operate reliably in extreme cold, improve accuracy and safety, and help manage labor across its Australian network. To replace paper and label‑pick processes at its Arndell Park DC, Americold selected Honeywell’s Vocollect Voice technology (with cold‑rated Talkman hardware) to address hands‑free, eyes‑free picking challenges in subzero environments.

Honeywell implemented a fully automated Vocollect Voice picking system integrated with the WMS, turning the facility paperless and giving managers real‑time data. The Honeywell solution delivered measurable benefits: higher order‑fulfillment accuracy, productivity gains, improved worker safety, and better labor-cost management by enabling appropriate staffing levels throughout the day and eliminating time wasted on double checks and missed picks.
