What is required for a good workstation?
The Pio user will spend many hours per day working at the port picking and packing orders and storing items into the grid. The workstation setup should facilitate for effective handling of orders and unpacking boxes with products you want to store in the grid.
Here are our recommendations for setting up a complete workstation next to the port:
Packing table
The table's height should be adjustable to best fit the users' working height when they pack orders and unpack boxes when storing new items.
Here is an example of Pio's packing station in our warehouse:
Ipad stand
We recommend having an iPad stand mounted on the workstation table or a shelf close to the Port. The iPad stand should be stable and easily accessible for the Port User.
Example:
Shelf or unloading table for deviated orders
Some orders require special attention from the Pio Admin user. This can be due to missing items or damaged products that need special care or follow-up.
To maintain a neat and clean workstation, these orders should be temporarily stored on a shelf or an unloading table and marked with the order number so everybody working with Pio systems knows they need special attention.

Shelf for storing large items
If you are selling large items or products that don't fit in Pio bins, you must use a shelf storage setup.
The perfect solution for shelf items depends on your product types: products can be stored on individual shelves, shelf systems, clothing racks, etc.
However you choose to store these items, they have to be added to Pio inventory as shelf items.
