The Pick to Light system is an “man-to-goods” picking solution that guarantees high productivity (up to 500 – 600 picks per hour). The system consists of spots connected to the warehouse management system via a network that allows real-time two-way communication. A series of warning lights are placed on the shelving, indicating where to pick the goods and the exact quantity. The operator moves along the shelving (dynamic and with multiple-depth storage) and picks the quantity of materials required for a whole batch of orders following signals appearing on monitors.

The picker, in practice, immediately divides the materials into several cartons, each of which is associated with a picking list that is being completed. At the end of the task, the operator can confirm the result through a button that causes the display to switch off and immediate exchange of information with the warehouse management system.
