Zone Picking is a warehouse order fulfillment strategy where the warehouse is divided into zones, and workers are assigned to pick items only within their designated areas. This method increases efficiency by reducing travel time and allowing parallel picking processes. When combined with conveyor systems or sortation technologies, zone picking enables faster order assembly and higher throughput. Effective zone picking supports optimized inventory flow, especially in large warehouses handling diverse product ranges.
