Pick To Light

Pick to light system is mainly used for the dispatch of items in preparation of production, or for their dispatch from containers in the workplace. Lights navigate the operator in selecting of items or show the number of pieces. Confirmation of the selection may be accomplished by a button, as well as sensor (e.g. an optical sensor).

BenefitsPick to light

  • Reduction of the error rate in selection of the material
  • Paperless operation (list items is not necessary)
  • Reduction of the time of dispatching from storage
  • Reduction in operator's burden
  • Possible measurements and inspections
  • High flexibility (simple change in location and process)

Process

The dispatching process may be carried out by scanning the order by scanner. Based on the order it is loaded into the system so called "Picking List" (bill of materials). The lights corresponding to positions of dispatched material will turn on. If more operators are dispatching at the same time, each has different color of lights. After material take-off the lights automatically turn off.
