Navigator's voice module allow pallets (containers) to be transferred within the warehouse. This is used for putaway and for other ad-hoc type movements of inventory.
Please note: Your system will likely have been customised and may differ slightly from this process. Certain prompts may have been added to assist in workflows specific to your company, or removed to streamline the process.

Explanation |
| Talkman:
To start container movements, say ready.
User: ready |
|
| Talkman:
Container?
User: 102041 Talkman: Container check digit? User: 124 |
The operator speaks the container number (or scans the container barcode if they have a scanner). The system asks for the check digit from the container label in order to confirm the number entered is a valid pallet. |
| Talkman:
Aisle?
User: 01, ready Talkman: Bay? User: 02, ready Talkman: Level? User: 03, ready Talkman: Position? User: 05, ready or Talkman: Aisle? User: 01020401 Talkman: Location check digit? |
The system asks the operator to
speak the aisle number into which they will be placing the stock.
Speak the two digit aisle number (adding a zero to the front of
the aisle if required), then say ready.
At the aisle prompt the user may speak the entirety of the location code. It is also possible to scan the location if the operator is equipped with a barcode reader. The system asks for the location check digit of the location being spoken. If the check digit / location combination are not found within the WMS, the user is told that the combination is incorrect, and must re-speak the location code. |
| Once a correct location is spoken or scanned, the current location for the pallet is changed, and the operator is prompted for the next pallet to move. |
