Pick to light order picking systems are proven to greatly improve order fulfillment operations with increased throughput and accuracy. Pick to light technology provides an easily identifiable visual alert to order picking operators which drastically improves order fulfillment over paper or wireless terminal ordering systems. Operators follow lighted pick tags with cartons or totes directed through the pick zones, streamlined for the fastest picking route on gravity conveyors or carts.
Pick and put to light technology allows for the most streamlined order picking flow to quickly and accurately alert operators with the item and quantity required. Order fulfillment operators may perform picking directly into the shipping carton or into totes on shelves or flow racks with quick identification of hundreds of different products located in dense picking zones. Adjacent picking zones may be consolidated to support anywhere from 500 up to 2,000 or more picking locations.
Pick to Light is Significantly Faster than Paper Picking
Pick to light technology provides significantly faster operations than paper based picking systems, providing an average of 300 to 500 lines per labor hour dependent upon the product size. Pick and put to light also drastically improves order fulfillment accuracy over paper and wireless order picking systems. Paper picking systems are prone to human error and require secondary inspections during packing to verify item and quantities.
These additional inspections at packing are often a bottleneck in order fulfillment operations which reduce productivity and negatively affect profitability.
