Picking Carts
Batch Picking and Sortation System
Lightning Pick’s cart-based applications optimize batch picking operations by reducing walking/travel time, improving pick rates and increasing order accuracy via cart picking.
Combining a colorful, heads-up display that leads the employee to the next pick location with put indicator lights that show where product should be placed, the solution is easy to understand and quick to use.
Easy to learn and use, multi-shelf carts automate batch picking for fulfillment of multiple, one- to two-line orders at the same time during a single pass through the warehouse — all while following the shortest route. LP Cart’s heads-up LCD displays, RF, put-to-light and patented Perpetual Picking™ software maximize batch picking, e-commerce order fulfillment, third-party fulfillment and other cart-based operations.
Lightning Pick’s patented Perpetual Picking batch optimization algorithm keeps pickers productive on every pass, even when all the cart’s original batch wave totes or cartons are full. Perpetual Picking tracks the cart’s real-time location in the warehouse, continuously directing pickers throughout their entire pick path.
Because they support batch picks of multiple orders simultaneously, mobile picking carts dramatically increase overall picking speed by up to 200%. Batch picking also boosts picking speeds up to 40% over conventional, paper-based picking. LP Cart technology can be applied to any cart size, design or configuration. Plus, the technology can be retrofitted to existing pick carts for a cost-efficient upgrade to automated picking.
