Everything You Need to Boost Order Fulfillment Accuracy and Productivity
Everything You Need to Boost Order Fulfillment Accuracy and Productivity
Wirelessly controlled through a simple URL or REST API call, the devices light up in one of six colors, and display up to five lines of custom text – for example, a pickers name, the SKU, and quantity to pick. They can even play a custom tune for each order picker.
Install one or more Turbos on the ceiling, the wall or the side of your racks to extend radio range and decrease pick-to-light response times. Turbos connect pick-to-light devices to the Internet.
Our Pick-to-Light system uses the ultimate simple standard – a simple web URL (QueryString API). More sophisticated users can use our REST API.
The Pick-to-Light devices easily integrate with your existing ERP or WMS. A simple request, sent to our server on the Amazon Cloud, causes the associated device to light up with up to five lines of custom text. QR Codes, barcodes and icons are also supported.
Our Pick-to-Light technology easily integrates with your existing ERP or WMS software. You can even test it out with a starter kit and Microsoft Excel.
Pick-to-Light Devices
Our Pick-to-Light System is more than a picking solution. A REST API or simple URL call causes the Cloud Display Devices to light up in one of six colors with up to five lines of custom text. The devices also support barcodes, QR-Codes and icons.
Our Pick-to-Light devices can be installed almost anywhere and easily integrate with your current ERP or WMS. The devices use Turbos to connect to the Internet.
They are ideal for picking carts, flow-through racks, put walls, will-call areas and more.
Turbo
Cloud Display Devices devices cannot connect to the cloud by themselves – they need the help of a Turbo. The Turbo is the simplest way for the devices to connect to the cloud.
Turbos connect Pick-to-Light Cloud Display Devices to our server software either on the cloud or your local area network (LAN). You can space out several Turbos within your warehouse to cover a large area and accelerate communication with devices. Optimal spacing is one every 50-75 feet depending on surroundings. The Turbo POE-T has a built-in graphical user interface (GUI) with touchscreen to facilitate testing and detailed monitoring of Cloud Display Devices. It connects to the internet using WiFi or Ethernet and runs on AC power or Power Over Ethernet (POE). (The Voodoo Robotics solution does not depend on use of the internet. If you elect to use an on-premise server solution that does not connect to the internet, you can run on your local ethernet and WiFi.) Install Turbos high up on a wall or pillar.
In large warehouses or ones that span multiple rooms, you might need additional Turbos. In busy systems, where multiple requests overlap, adding extra Turbos will decrease response times, causing devices to light-up faster.
Turbos are designed for overlapping coverage areas. Use multiple Turbos to extend the range of devices in your warehouse.
Software Integration
Our Pick-to-Light system uses the ultimate standard – a simple web URL (QueryString API). A REST API is also available.
The Pick-to-Light devices easily integrate with your existing ERP or WMS. A simple URL request, sent to our server on the Amazon Cloud, causes the associated device to light up in one of six colors with up to five lines of custom text.
For example, the device can display the picker’s name, SKU and quantity to pick, or it could indicate into which bin the picked inventory should be placed.
Devices also support QR Codes, barcodes and icons. You can even generate a custom barcode to be scanned to acknowledge each pick.
Here are some ideas:
It’s so easy that you can even use Microsoft Excel to generate URL’s and light up the devices!
