Order picking is a key task in almost all supply chains and has a significant effect on operational efficiency of warehouses. Although most companies still rely on manual order picking, research on diverse possibilities to automate order picking tasks or support human order pickers with technology is increasing rapidly.
This paper conceptualises Order Picking 4.0 (OP 4.0), considering substitutive and supportive technologies. Based on a conceptual background, a framework for OP 4.0 as a sociotechnical system is developed. A systematic literature review is performed to assess the state of knowledge in this field, and prospective research opportunities in OP 4.0 are highlighted.

实现订单拣选 4.0 的概念化
订单拣选是几乎所有供应链中的关键任务,对仓库的运营效率有重大影响。尽管大多数公司仍然依赖手动订单拣选,但对自动化订单拣选任务或使用技术支持人工拣选员的各种可能性的研究正在迅速增加。
本文将订单拣选 4.0 (OP 4.0) 概念化,考虑了替代性和支持性技术。基于概念背景,开发了作为社会技术系统的 OP 4.0 框架。进行了系统的文献综述以评估该领域的知识状态,并强调了 OP 4.0 中的前瞻性研究机会。
