Pick-to-Light

Pick to Light (also called Pick by Light / Pick2Light) is a paperless picking process giving the warehouse employee instructions directly in situ at the warehouse compartment. Instead of a pick list, the operator is given digital instructions on the articles and volumes to be picked via an electronic display installed directly above the respective compartment.

Each compartment is equipped with a pick-by-light module (also called electronic display).
When a picking order has been initiated (e.g. through a barcode scan), the electronic displays of the articles to be picked, i.e. the eye-catching signal light and quantity displays are switched on.

Quick  locating instead of long search
The operator is able to identify the shelf from where the items are to be picked swiftly through the clearly visible light, and the quantity display indicates the number of items required.

After picking the goods, he presses the OK button and the display goes out. Information is transmitted via the direct connection to the merchandise information system or inventory management system.
Via this “optical guidance system”, the order picker is thus guided in a route-optimized manner from storage compartment to storage compartment until the order is completed.

The functional, industry-compatible design of our PickTerm Flexible pick-by-light system offers manifold possibilities for optimally supporting your picking processes.

Alongside pure order picking, the system also enables e.g.
– corrections to quantities in the warehouse compartment  – the storage of returned goods  – inventory processes  etc.
