Pick to Light Solutions

Pick to Light technology enables an order picker to quickly and easily find the correct location for their next pick by means of lights and LED displays retrofitted to static shelving, flow rack and other media that you use in your distribution center. Besides guiding the picker to the exact location, the lights also display the precise amount ordered and requires confirmation as each item is picked. Increment and decrement buttons also enables the picker to have total system interactivity and carry out inventory checks and indicate replenishment needs right at the light location.

 

System Components

Pick to light solutions consist of innovative light modules that provide the brightest, most easily read displays available. These are available in a variety of colors and module orientations to fit any application and installation. They are built with rugged, high-quality construction to meet the demands of rigorous daily use in your busy warehouse. Again, the lights can be mounted conveniently on existing rack or shelving media (amongst others) to reduce installation time and costs.

All of this is underscored by an unprecedented flexibility provided by Pick to Light’s exclusive Twin-Wire design. This allows the modules to be quickly mounted to a slide track. Each light module operates independently, so the need for cumbersome cabling has been eliminated. Besides bringing an uncommon simplicity to our solution, the easy adjustments to the left or right on the track accommodate easy inventory changes or product size updates.

Pick to Light is managed by Windows 2000 based software productivity tools, and uses the proven SQL Server 2000 database at its core. This provides easy administration, proven performance and a variety of user configurable options to fit your best business practices. Our  software even utilizes Microsoft’s DCOM and .NET architecture to share data in real time across your existing LAN. Take advantage of our Label Print Servers, QC Scanning Stations and Mobile Diagnostics capabilities, or access our interface directly to create your own customized solution set.  This also allows ease of integration between Pick to Light and your host order entry system or WMS solution.
