A seven minute video presentation of this technology is profiled in this issue of Warehouse Distribution Software and allows viewer to fully comprehend the scope and importance of this extraordinary technology. http://www.warehousingsoftware.net/2010/10/lightning-pick-pack-to-light/ Bernie McCabe, a senior executive with Lightning Pick discusses the importance of Pick-to-Light and Pack-to-Light solutions. According to McCabe, “Not all Put-to-Light applications are the same. LP Pack provides a highly sophisticated Put-to-Light solution specifically engineered for distribution centers servicing retail stores. Also called Pack-to-Light or Put-to-Store, LP Pack is ideal for retail store replenishment order fulfillment and optimizes cross-docking operations where a percentage of full case quantities are broken down to store level cartons. Watch step-by-step as a case of product arrives to the break pack area. An operator scans the case and lights illuminate to direct them to quickly sort the product to the right store carton and in the right unit quantities. The product is 'put' to the store carton and the light module extinguished to confirm the activity was completed.”

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.
