Not many people know about the Pick to Light. The method that this boom was not quite widely used in the warehousing industry in particular. This method is believed to be one method of storing goods in an efficient and effective than the method of RF (Radio Frequency) scan or paper labels with bar code method.
Some basic functions of this technology are:
1. Flow / shelf rack picking.
When an order number or license number of a carton appears to stimulate the process of making the goods, then the light will light up automatically based on the information in question. AGV will be able to point to the destination automatically based lights that are stimulated.
2. Mobile picking cart.
Uptake by AGV or forklifts will be more efficient with this lamp technology. Items brought to bring id to make it easier for the carrier to know the position of placement of goods. Identification cart using license plate on the train that is used with the product being carried.
3. Assembly / kitting workstations
SKU (stock keeping units) will trigger the retrieval and value-added activities (value added service activities) to assemble or to assemble product components that are detected.
Let's try to see some things about the Pick to Light system.
System Pick to Light is an innovation system with no paper to automated solutions to capture an item in a I. Technological capability in the form of making, packaging, placement, laying into the display and other inventory fungsi2, is included in the technology this Pick to Light.
There are several technologies associated with this system.
- Light Tower.
Tower lights provide information to warehouse people to know the exact location of the goods you want to find or be placed.
- Light Frame.
Lighting system with lights provide clues for the warehouse to speed up the job search or place the product in question.
- Quick Pick Position Indicator.
By placing many sensors lights, the lights will turn on the product being sought. Obviously, this guide provides comfort for the person who has a warehouse of products very much.
- Message Center
This model is widely used by the majority of the industry today. Maybe we do not know the use of the term name of this technology. Warehousing industrial world seems to know a lot of strengths and weaknesses of this product.
- Put Lights
With alarge warehouse location ,course information system is needed for proper and accurate placement . Therefore, the system Put Lights will light up when an item has arrived and is ready to go in a rack.
- Pick Lights
Pick lights have a function similar to the Put lights, where someone who will take the goods / products to know the position of the flame lighting products that position.
Over time, these technologies must be supported by other technologies, namely the RF scan. RF scanning devices also helps the efficiency of this technology. And, technology is what ultimately leads to the use of RFID technology that is in the very basic stages in implementation.

Thanks, great post. I've had some questions regarding pick to light for quite some time. I know its efficient and quick, but does the computer reliant process have an error rate that out weights the productivity?
