What is Pick to light?
Pick to Light, also called P2Light, is an intuitive order picking system, containing lights that streamline the picking process. The system is paperless, and quality-ensures that you do not pick the wrong item or miss picking one. A distinct light indication indicates what to pick and a sensor double-checks that you have picked the item. A simple and brilliant method.
Pick to Light guides your employees in manual picking, sorting and assembly – it increases accuracy and efficiency, all while reducing costs. In other words, it is a perfect solution for e.g. e-commerce companies and distribution centers that wish to eliminate error picking.
The system is based on Poka Yoke – a Japanese method for identifying and avoiding mistakes before they occur.
How does Pick to light work?
The software can be customized as needed, but in short, the principle is as follows:
Each storage compartment has a lamp with a display, and at least one acknowledgment button. The process of starting a sequence can take place in many ways. The operator can, for example, scan an order number and the software then knows which items to pick.
The system’s LEDs light up and illuminate the path with the purpose of guiding the operator to the article’s storage compartment. A display then indicates the amount of items to be picked. The withdrawal is afterwards confirmed with the acknowledgment button, or via the non-contact sensor when the operator’s hand is inserted into the box.
Starting a sequence can also take place by sending information to the system from an RFID tag about a specific order, while delivering the recipe to be picked. This is just one of the many ways you can start a sequence in Pick2light. Thanks to a multicolored LED indicator on the picking displays, you can select several orders in parallel (so-called Multi-Order-Picking).
