Glossar

Processing speed refers to the time or rate at which logistics processes, orders, or shipments are processed and completed. It is an important performance indicator of the efficiency of warehousing, shipping, and transportation processes.

Processing speed is significantly influenced by automation, optimized material flows, and the availability of accurate master data. Systems for automatic identification, measurement, and weight recording shorten processing times and reduce manual steps. This increases throughput, process reliability, and the efficiency of logistics operations.

Practical example:

At a parcel sorting center, a DWS system shortens the processing time for each shipment by automatically capturing dimensions and weight during the conveyor process.
