How Pick to Light Improves Warehouse Automation

Pick to light and put to light order fulfillment technology drastically improves warehouse automation for maximum throughput and profitability. Pick to light systems alert operators with visual, lighted pick tags illuminated throughout the most streamlined order fulfillment path. Cartons or totes are moved through one or multiple pick zones on a cart or gravity conveyor giving quick instruction on items and pick quantities required.

Pick to light systems deliver many advantages to distribution centers and order fulfillment operations with increased throughput and profitability achievable with very little operator training time. Picking technicians can be trained and using pick to light systems in less than 30 minutes, which is a huge advantage for distribution centers that rely upon seasonal help during holiday and peak volume periods.

Pick to Light Software Considerations

Pick and put to light picking systems are driven by software applications which manage the order picking operation, with various software packages available. Utilizing pick to light as part of a warehouse control system (WCS) is most advantageous as the WCS delivers real time execution of automated technologies, based on the order fulfillment database of existing warehouse management systems (WMS).

Utilizing pick to light as part of a total warehouse control system delivers maximum productivity as the application software also manages material handling equipment, conveyors, diverters, and automatic order routing with sorting. This delivers maximum profitability to multi-zone, multi-level picking operations.
