How does pick-by-light work?

Pick-by-Light systems are revolutionizing order picking in warehouses and production facilities thanks to their intuitive and visually supported technology.

These systems use LED strips to give employees precise instructions on which items should be picked from which storage positions. Visual guidance considerably reduces error rates and significantly increases the speed of order processing. This leads to increased efficiency and productivity in warehouse operations, as employees can work faster and without errors.

The following pick-by-light systems offer seamless integration into existing warehouse structures and can be flexibly adapted to your individual requirements.
