      The key to successful implementation of a wireless system lies in choosing the solution that best matches your order dynamics and product mix. This can be tricky in an industry where individual item picking dominates the process. Case picking is rare, so it is critical to find a system that supports single-line groups and multiple-line batches and also recognizes product packing anomalies. Product lines can be diverse and include items that will be ordered together, but must be shipped separately. The software driving the pick process must provide the logic to manage these complex issues.
