Order picking represents the largest expense in your operation and a big opportunity for improvement. Of course, there are many picking technologies, but which is best for your business?

Light-directed order fulfillment (often known as pick-to-light) works best in a piece pick or broken case pick environment where there are high density order picking areas.

Pick-to-light can easily be configured to add performance and efficiency to many popular order picking methodologies, including order, wave, zone, cluster and batch picking techniques. Variations on light-directed technologies, such as put-to-light or pack-to-light, are ideal for high-speed sortation processes, where a batch of orders is sorted to individual customer orders, or used to maximize throughput for retail store order distribution.

Warehousing applications that often take advantage of light-directed technologies include order picking, put walls, picking carts, goods-to-person picking, projection picking, kitting, assembly and more.
