Put-to-Light
Put-to-Light is an advanced, visually guided picking system designed to simplify and enhance order preparation. By using illuminated displays, it directs operators to specific locations for item placement, ensuring accuracy and speed in handling multiple orders simultaneously.
Advantages:
- High Productivity: Accelerates the picking process by eliminating guesswork and reducing downtime.
- Error Reduction: Minimizes mistakes through clear visual cues, making repetitive order preparation reliable and consistent.
- Intuitive Operation: Simple to use, requiring minimal training for operators.
- Scalability: Adapts to changing operational needs, supporting various container types such as boxes, bins, or workstations.
- Optimized Workflows: Guides operators to the exact location for order placement, ensuring seamless task execution.
Put-to-Light systems are ideal for businesses requiring efficient, error-free order preparation in dynamic warehouse environments.
How does the Put to Light system work?
It all starts with the article. Following a precise list, when the item is identified in the Modula and the operator picks it up, the displays connected to the order to which the item belongs light up to visually indicate to the operator the container in which it must be placed and the exact quantity of that item required for that order.
So the Put to Light system guides those who work on the order during picking and clearly manages the positions where the items must be placed for each order. The correspondence is one-to-one: a luminous display is linked only to a position or container that will be the basis of the order.
Using the Modula WMS software that manages the Put to Light system, it is possible to implement various picking strategies, including batch picking (several items in the same drawer for different orders) and multi-order (preparation of several orders at the same time for different customers or destinations).
The advantages of Put to Light are obvious in terms of accuracy, efficiency and inventory management also because being integrated on the Modula automatic warehouse only through the use of the Modula WMS, they are linked to integrated and direct communication with the management software.
This picking solution increases the number of orders completed daily while containing operating costs and, above all, training costs for the employees.
