Germantown, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2010 -- For the picker, LP Voice offers complete control over the pick process with commands for shortage handling, pick skipping and repeat. The voice terminal display shows location and quantity information as an aid. The system supports scanning of product, location bar code, confirmations or spoken location check digits.
According to Bernie McCabe, Senior Manager with Lightning Pick, “Voice-directed picking offers a cost-effective alternative for applications with a large number of products and pick volume that does not justify Pick to Light. The LP Voice module can operate as a standalone picking system or in conjunction with Lightning Pick lights to form an integrated solution.”
Integration with the overall Lightning Pick Suite allows the user to configure some “areas” for voice-based picking and other areas for pick-to-light picking. All areas share a common host interface so that higher-level systems (WMS and Business Hosts) view the pick area as a single unified process.
Lightning Pick Technologies, providers of paperless picking systems including the number one selling Pick to Light solution in North America recently released Lightning Pick NW Series Wireless Pick to Light System. The NW Series is the first completely mobile Pick to Light technology in the market, introducing an expanded range of applications that can benefit from light-directed order picking.
In 1998 Lightning Pick introduced duct-based Pick to Light technology to the United States. These cable-free light modules retrofit to a rack, shelf, cart or other material handling storage media. The new track-lighting style hardware lowered installation costs and is more flexible for system reconfiguration, maintenance, and expansion. Cable-free displays are the industry standard, but distributors still sought after a means of applying Pick to Light speed and accuracy to operations that did not have the infrastructure for mounted lights.
The LP Wireless Pick to Light System is ideal for any temporary or mobile product locations such as totes, bins, shipping containers, pallets on open floors and others. By placing the portable light module on or near the required product location it is immediately part of the Pick to Light operation. Bays and zones can leverage a combination of classic Lightning Pick track-mounted and wireless lights, all of which are easily configured within Lightning Pick software.
