Pick-to-light order-picking system

digital

Daifuku Webb's pick-to-light digital pick system queues workers to pick items in accordance with the digital indicator on a rack or shelf. It can integrate with standard shelving, an automated storage & retrieval system (AS/RS), conveyor, overhead monorail and sorting transfer vehicle (STV) and is effective for case and piece picking. How it works Input: Product is assigned to the locations on the flow rack by the warehouse management system. The warehouse management system or warehouse control system tracks the inventory quantities and generates replenishment orders to move product to the locations once the predetermined replenishment value is reach. Output: As orders are released for picking, location lights flash to identify the pick location and the quantity to pick is displayed. Workers pick the requested quantity then press the button to confirm the pick. The confirmation of the pick is electronically sent to the host once the Worker presses the light to confirm the pick. No other action is required to update the warehouse management system.
