Light-directed order fulfillment systems use light indicator modules mounted to shelving, flow rack, work benches, pallet rack or other storage locations. Whenever product is needed from a particular location, the right indicator turns on, drawing attention where action is required. The operator picks the product quantity displayed. The operator then confirms the pick by pressing the lighted button.
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.
TW Series. Introduced in 1998, today there are millions of actively installed Twin-Wire Series lights worldwide, relied upon for thousands of picks made hour after hour.
AW Series. The model of choice for manufacturing applications, these modules use of non-polar cable instead of a duct to convey power and data for flexible mounting to a variety of workstations, cells and other production infrastructure.
