Pick-to-Light & Put-to-Light
Order Fulfillment That’s Easy to See
Pick-to-Light
When the order is ready to be fulfilled, the order picker is directed to the location of the item with a ‘light’ and LED display. The display illuminates the quantity to be picked and once the task is complete, requires confirmation or the order will not be complete.
Put-to-Light
Some companies work in a batch picking environment. Items are picked in batches and brought to a central location where the order picker scans an item and all of the locations or orders that need the item will illuminate with the specified quantity.

Use the Voice-Directed System for Picking & Put-Away
- Voice-Directed Picking: The operator begins the day by instructing the system when they are at their zone or work area. When activated, the first item in the order is communicated verbally over the headset. The order picker is instructed to go to a particular aisle, shelf, bin, and a total of how many items to pick. Once the item is picked, the order picker communicates via voice a command that allows the system to understand that the operation has been completed. Each voice-directed picking system is programmed to recognize voices and commands ensuring accuracy.
- Voice-Directed Put-Away: The same process applies, except the worker is now putting various products and amounts into a bin, carton, box, or pallet. The worker scans the item where it tells the worker the aisle, shelf, bin, and a total of how many items to put into the container. Once the item is put away, the worker verbally communicates that the operation is complete directly into the built-in microphone. Again, the voice-directed system recognizes the voice and command and allows the worker to move on to the next item.
