Pick to light / Put to light Systems

Operator Confirming a Pick

The primary benefits of pick-to-light / put-to-light systems are:

• greater throughput
• reduction of errors
• elimination of paper pick lists or RF terminals

Pick-to-light systems are typically used in distribution centers to automate the order picking process. Pick-to-light systems are also used in manufacturing processes to help error-proof the assembly of goods. Put-to-light systems are similar to pick-to-light systems, however, they're used primarily to replenish stock in picking storage locations or to segregate picked orders by delivery location prior to shipping.

How They Work...

Pick-to-light and put-to-light systems are controlled by software tied to a customer's WMS or ERP system. The software directs and tracks the item selection or put-away progress of workers. When an operator completes a pick or put, an indicator at the next location shows when and where items should be picked or placed.

Pick-to-Light Indicator / Console

Pick-to-light and put-to-light systems incorporate a visual indicator adjacent to the storage location of the goods. Most system indicators also display the quantity of items to pick or put-away. The operator confirms they have completed the pick or put by pressing a button on the indicator panel. Many systems also have additional built in functions such as enabling the operator to register a "short pick" in the system software if not enough items are available or to call for workers to replenish depleted stock at a location. In some of the most sophisticated pick-to-light / put-to-light systems, infra-red sensors are incorporated to detect the worker's hand entering the correct storage location in order to further error-proof and streamline the pick-to-light or put-to-light process.

Mobile Pick Cart w/Pick Lights

Pick-to-light / put-to-light indicators can be mounted on virtually any storage unit. They're most commonly mounted on the face of order picking shelving/racks. When justified, they can also be mounted on:

• Carousels and vertical shuttles
• Static storage bins
• Storage shelves or pallet racks
• Mobile picking carts
• Other user locations
