Pick-to-Light helps you pick more orders, in less time, with fewer errors.
New wireless pick-to-light devices can be attached to racks, totes, carts, forklifts, pick-walls, put-walls, etc.
Pick-to-Light systems help warehouse pickers find things by using indicator lights to show where items are or where they should be placed. The systems are particularly useful for broken case or piece-picking for e-commerce order fulfillment. Pick-to-Light hardware is installed on shelves and racks or even on picking carts or put-walls (also referred to as put stations). When a new picklist is initiated, typically through a barcode scan or via an Android device, the Pick-to-Light device is illuminated, indicating the SKU and quantity to pick. Picks can be acknowledged through a simple button press and depending on the system, the inventory data may be synchronized with a warehouse management system (WMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) or other material handling software.
Pick-to-Light systems dramatically increase the productivity of e-commerce order fulfillment while reducing operator errors. This type of supply chain technology has a profound impact on order picking productivity and warehouse management.
Pick-to-Light Process:
Voodoo Robotics harnesses the power of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with wireless, cloud-connected Pick-to-Light technology. When a picklist is initiated, our Pick-to-Light devices light up in one of six colors, with text indicating the picker’s name, SKU and quantity to pick! Pick lights can be installed almost anywhere and easily integrate with your current ERP or WMS (or even with Microsoft Excel).
Many customers attach devices to their existing picking carts. Since the devices are wireless, there is no complicated installation, and you can continue to pick the way you’re used to–but faster and more accurately! No more confusion with batch picking, wave picking, zone picking or cluster picking.
Want extreme accuracy? You can use devices for both picking and putting.
In a double-lighted system, devices can acknowledge BOTH each pick and each put. In this scenario, as the picker pushes the picking cart down the aisle, Pick-to-Light devices (usually attached to a rack) associated with a picklist illuminate, then after each pick, a put light on the cart illuminates to show in which tote the inventory should be placed.
Picking carts optimize batch picking by reducing the pickers total travel distance while increasing his/her accuracy and picking rates.
Pick-to-Light and put-to-light systems are often used with picking carts to facilitate batch or cluster picking of multiple orders in one pass. Picking carts vary greatly in design and configuration, but most contain several shelves with totes or plastic storage bins. The totes can be configured to hold all the items for a particular order or they can simply hold all the picked inventory which is later sorted by order into a put-wall.
Single Lighted System:
Double Lighted System:
There’s no need for a wired power source. Our picking system runs on two AAA batteries that can last for years (depending on usage). Pick-to-Light devices can be installed almost anywhere, eliminating the need for very expensive powered picking carts.
Our Pick-to-Light system uses the ultimate standard – a simple web URL.
The Pick-to-Light devices easily integrate with your existing ERP or WMS (or even an Excel spreadsheet). A REST API or a simple URL request, sent to our server on the Amazon Cloud, causes the associated Pick-to-Light device to light up with the picker’s name, SKU, and quantity to pick or five lines of text (in the language you need)!
