A pick to light system is an advanced technology used in warehouses and distribution centers, as well as in material racks for manufacturing processes, to optimize the picking and material preparation process.
This system uses light indicators, typically LEDs, to guide operators in the selection and packaging of products in a precise and efficient manner.
1.- Light Indicators: The LEDs are integrated into the shelves or racks and are associated with specific products.
2.- Order Generation: When an order is generated, the LEDs corresponding to the required products light up.
3.- Product Selection: The operator follows the lights to pick the products and the indicated quantity.
4.- Confirmation: Once the selection is completed, the operator confirms the task, and the LEDs turn off.
Used in distribution centers to guide workers to the correct products. The sensors light up the specific shelf or location where an item needs to be picked.
In “Kitting” lines, preparing material kits in an automated and guided manner for the operator.
In assembly lines, “pick to light” systems help operators select the necessary components in the right order, optimizing workflow.
A basic sensor with an RGB LED that can light up in different colors through control, and a button for recognizing when the operator has taken the material.
A sensor with a display for applications where counting parts or identifying positions dynamically is required.
There are options with a light beam sensor for automatic detection of the “pick.”
A sensor for applications requiring a larger detection area, designed to automatically detect the “pick.”
The sensor has green/red LEDs to show the status to the operator.
The design of a pick-to-light station can be customized for the client, which includes wireless applications, integration,
and software development for operator interface screens, as well as systems that communicate with PLCs or IT systems.
