Pick-to-light systems
Pick-to-Light is a modern solution designed to support the order picking process in warehouses, distribution centres, and on assembly lines. This system uses light signals and digital displays placed directly at storage locations to indicate to the operator the precise location and quantity of items to be picked.
At Bros Control, we design and implement comprehensive Pick-to-Light systems, tailored to the individual requirements of each client and the specific nature of their processes.
Main advantages of the Pick-to-Light system:
- Speed and accuracy – the operator does not need to search for locations from a list; the system guides them step by step, eliminating human error and accelerating the picking process.
- Error reduction – digital displays and light signals clearly indicate the pick location and the exact number of items.
- Ease of use – the user interface is intuitive, even for new or temporary staff.
- Scalability – the system can be expanded as demand increases.
- Integration with WMS and ERP systems – full data synchronisation, visibility of order fulfilment status and operator performance.
- Support for batch and single-item picking modes – the system can manage one or multiple item picks simultaneously, depending on the configured workflow.
Where is Pick-to-Light most effective?
- Order picking in warehouses and logistics centres,
- Assembly and production lines (Pick-to-Assemble),
- Packaging and parcel sorting zones,
- Processes requiring high precision and short cycle times.
Bros Control’s Pick-to-Light systems can also be combined with other Industry 4.0 logistics technologies such as Put-to-Light, RFID, barcode scanners, and Pick-by-Voice systems – creating a fully integrated and intelligent picking environment.
