description An order picking activities refers to an act of retrieving any items from the storage locations in the warehouses. In common situation, these activities is often performed by human. Due to that condition, high human error and high cost impact were spotted on a manual order picking activities. Thus, previous studies have developed various methods to support the practitioners especially in creating a more efficient order picking process. In spite of the vast discussion and evidence that shows an order pickers tend to deviate from its optimal routes and putting the efficiency of these routing approaches at stake, very little discussion were focus on the implementation of smart application through IT usage and device to reduce the problem faced in the warehouse. Thus, it is the main intention of this this paper to presents a detailed analysis on the relative factors affecting the efficiency of order picking activities in the warehouse and suggest the smart trolley as a solution to overcome the problem. The smart trolley apps is then proposed to increase the picking process in warehouse. The results of this paper indicate that extensive use of smart trolley apps as a solution to a more effective ways of order picking.
