Pick to Light — Guide Every Pick, Confirm Every Action
Wireless pick-to-light systems — also called pick-by-light or light-directed picking — that eliminate search time, reduce errors, and confirm every action in real time.
Light Up. Pick. Confirm. Done.
A simple, guided workflow that turns every pick into a confirmed, error-free action — whether used standalone or alongside barcode scanners.
Task Arrives
Your WMS sends a pick task through the REST API to the Voodoo server.
Device Lights Up
The display shows SKU, quantity, and instructions. The LED glows the assigned color.
Worker Picks
The operator goes to the lit location, reads the display, and picks the item.
Button Confirms
A button press confirms the pick and sends confirmation back to your system.
When to Use Pick to Light
- ●High-volume zone or batch picking with dozens to thousands of SKUs
- ●Fast onboarding — new hires need to pick accurately on day one
- ●Error-sensitive operations where mis-picks drive returns and chargebacks
- ●Stable pick faces where devices stay at fixed shelf or rack locations
- ●Multi-zone warehouses needing guided picks without conveyors
Why Wireless Pick-by-Light
- ●No conduit, no wiring, no electricians — deploy devices in minutes
- ●Battery-powered displays last years on standard AAA cells
- ●Reconfigure pick faces and zones without infrastructure changes
- ●Scale from 10 devices to 1,000+ with no architectural changes
- ●Wireless outperforms wired on cost, flexibility, and deployment speed
What It Integrates With
- ●Any WMS via standard REST API — no proprietary middleware
- ●SAP, Oracle, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Körber, HighJump, and more
- ●ERP and MES systems for manufacturing pick-by-light workflows
- ●barcode scanners for combined scan-and-light execution
- ●Cloud dashboard for centralized monitoring and battery management
