Put-to-Light
Put-to-light describes the light-directed assignment of an item to a storage location. By means of the illuminated ring and the picking display, further process information is signaled.
Illuminated rings for visual guidance
During placement operations, the employee is guided via light signals to the respective storage bins. The placement is then confirmed by pressing an ergonomic button to avoid errors. Incorrect allocations can be monitored and detected via sensors. Process information is indicated via the display and illuminated ring. At the same time, all necessary process data is transferred in real time to the higher-level production system. As lists and other documents in paper form are not needed anymore, this opens the way for a visual factory.
Put-to-Light combined with Pick-by-Light
Furthermore, the combination of pick-by-light and put-to-light is also particularly suitable, where the backside of the pick-by-light rack is directly refilled via put-to-light.
