Put-to-Light
Put Walls
The Lightning Pick Put solution optimizes batch picking and high-speed sortation operations with a process sometimes called pick-to-light in reverse. With put-to-light, operators scan an item and the locations representing a store or customer needing that item illuminate. From straightforward scan-and-put workstations and put walls, to more complex sortation applications, LP Put offers options that maximize speed and accuracy.
Upon arrival at the put-to-light sorting area, each item is scanned. This triggers the light-directed picking modules to illuminate at every put location where the item is required to complete the order. Pickers distribute the items accordingly, and extinguish the light once the task is complete. After an order is filled, the light-directed picking module indicates that the order is complete and ready to ship.
Unlike systems that require lights at every pick face, the light modules on a put wall are associated with sort locations (bins, totes or shelves) that correspond to individual customer orders. Lightning Pick’s unique put solution also offers lights on the opposite side of the put wall or station. When individual orders are completed, a light illuminates to alert packing personnel.
Light-directed put walls are a space-efficient and economical method for fast, high-quality order sortation. For businesses with a large number of SKUs, Lightning Pick put systems are available in a wide variety of configurations to immediately boost operational efficiency, capacity and visibility into order progress and productivity rates.
