Pick-by-Light

Whether at the traffic lights or the supermarket check-out, light signals regularly guide us through our daily lives. So why not use this intuitive technology also in the warehouse to ensure productive processes with low error rates? It is suitable for both ‘pick’ and ‘put’ processes (PickbyLight and PuttoLight) in order picking, in shipping warehouses, and for material supply to assembly lines.

With Pick-by-Light, each storage location is equipped with a display showing the quantity to be picked and mostly also with keys for confirming or correcting product picking. This significantly shortens the search. The simple operation reduces both the training time and the risk of errors. Efficiency and safety can be further increased by using additional sensors.

Put-to-Light optimises the sorting process used in two-stage or multi-order picking, and enables intuitive operation without loss of time.
The easy-to-learn Pick-by-Light and Put-to-Light processes are often used for automation (e.g. in fully automated picking stations) or with MDE devices.
