How our pick-to-light system work
By scanning barcodes from QR codes, order pickers can see at a glance which products they need to pick. Each order picker has its own picking area. Within that area, the order picker is shown on a pick-to-light display where and how many products he/she has to pick. The order picker collects the products and places them in a box, crate or tray. The orders go to the next step in the process via a roller conveyor or a conveyor belt.
Pick-to-light systems are linked to a warehouse management / control system (WMS or WCS) so that information about all orders and stock is continuously available digitally. This information is used to keep an overview, but can also be used for analyses. An example of this is determining whether a product is a fast mover, by performing an analysis based on the history of the product.
Use of pick-to-light system
The system is ideal for companies in the logistics sector. The pick-to-light system is easy to use and easy to implement in existing operations. The pick-to-light system is often used, especially in the e-commerce world.
