Pick to Light System in Industry

As a provider of light-directed and advanced order picking technologies, we understand the pivotal role our Pick to Light system plays in enhancing productivity, accuracy, and cost efficiency in modern warehouses. With the advent of Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, our solutions are integral to transforming traditional warehouses into smart, interconnected, and highly efficient facilities.

What is Pick to Light?

Pick to Light is an innovative order picking system that utilizes light displays and digital interfaces to guide warehouse workers to the precise locations of items. Each picking location is equipped with a light module that illuminates to direct workers and displays the quantity of items to be picked. This technology minimizes the need for paper-based lists or handheld devices, allowing for a streamlined and focused picking process.

How Our Pick to Light System Works

1. Order Initiation: The process starts with our integrated order management software generating a pick list and sending it to the Pick to Light system.
2. Light Activation: Lights at the designated pick locations illuminate, guiding workers directly to the items. Digital displays show the exact quantity to pick.
3. Item Picking: Workers pick the items and confirm the pick by pressing a button on the light module. This deactivates the light, signaling completion of that pick.
4. Order Completion: The system verifies the order is fully picked and ready for the next stage in the logistics process.

Key Benefits of Our Pick to Light System

1. Enhanced Productivity:

   • Faster Picking: Visual cues enable workers to locate and pick items quickly, significantly reducing pick times.
   • Streamlined Process: Eliminates the need for paper-based lists and reduces the steps involved in the picking process.

2. Increased Accuracy:

   • Precise Guidance: Lights and digital displays provide clear instructions, reducing the risk of picking errors.
   • Real-Time Confirmation: Immediate confirmation of picks ensures the accuracy of each order.

3. Cost Efficiency:

   • Reduced Labor Costs: Increased picking speed and accuracy lead to fewer errors and less rework, saving on labor costs.
   • Optimized Resources: Efficient picking processes maximize the use of warehouse space and resources.

4. Scalability and Flexibility:

   • Modular Design: Our system is easily scalable, allowing for expansion as your warehouse grows.
   • Seamless Integration: Compatible with various warehouse management systems (WMS), our Pick to Light system integrates smoothly into existing operations.
