DirectPick™ Light-Directed Picking

Bay controller defines pick zone boundaries so there is never any confusion about where a picker's zone begins and ends. Module indicates pick activity and order number, as well as custom order functions, such as splitting items between two shippers, changing lot number or requesting replenishment. Also displays local diagnostics and tests. Bay controllsers are available as a standard 12-digit display or as a vacuum florescent display, which has full scrolling capabilities when additional order informations is required.

For fast moving items, DirectPick™ indicates which items need picking by flashing its beacon as well as displaying the quantity to pick on the digital display. Modules can also handle functions at the item level, including shorts, replenishment requests and item splits. Digital displays are available in either a 4-digit or an 8-digit display when additional information or larger SKU counts are required.

For slower moving items, beacons are used together with the bay controller. The flashing beacon locates the item within the bay to pick, while the bay controller displays the quantity to pick. Both the beacons and digital displays can be used to handle either one or two SKU's using an up/down light arrow configuration that can be lit in three different colors based on your preference.

For the slowest items in the pick line, the area controller is configured to show the order number and location to pick from, as well as the quantity. Module also includes a function key and shorting buttons.
