CLOUD DISPLAY DEVICES
A New Solution for Today’s Order Fulfillment Challenges
Pick more orders, in less time, with fewer errors!
Displays text, barcodes, QR codes, icons, and arrows
What is a Cloud Display Device?
A simple call causes the associated Cloud Display Device to light up with multiple lines of custom text – in any language using Western text. Text size scales to fit the display. Assign different colors to different pickers or different priorities. Integration with your WMS/ERP is simple. In fact, the system even works with Microsoft Excel!
Cloud Display Devices can be used in all sorts of ways: pick-to-light, put-to-light, picking carts, order sortation, quarantine, kitting, will-call, and more!
Barcodes can be used both for item SKUs and for acknowledging individual picks–at the same time! Ask us how.
What do you get when you cross the Internet-of-Things (IoT) with pick-to-light technology? The ability to pick more orders, in less time, with fewer errors. A simple URL causes the Cloud Display Devices to light up with up to five lines of custom text.
Up to Five Lines of Custom Text
A simple URL causes the device to light up in one of six colors with up to five lines of custom text in any language you need. It can even play a custom tune, show a barcode/QR Code and a hazard icon.
The average time to light up is 1.5 – 2 seconds.
Two Types of Display
Static
The device, while idle, displays static or stand-by information including a hazard icon, barcode and/or QR Code. For example, you might want to show what SKU and quantity is stored in a location or who has been assigned to a picking cart.
Lighted Message
A simple URL call for a pick or put can illuminate a device button (or make it flash), with up to five lines of custom text to be displayed. The device can even play a custom tune. Use a barcode of QR Code to identify the pick or put. For example, the device might instruct a specific picker to select X number of a specific SKU. Or, it could indicate into which bin the picked inventory should be placed.
