What is Pick to Light

Pick to Light (PTL) is a paperless picking process. It is an innovative technology designed to streamline order picking tasks within warehouses and distribution centers. Usually Pick-to-Light has a light indicator and a confirmation button. And it utilizes light displays, typically mounted on shelves or storage bins, to guide warehouse workers through the picking process. It streamlines the picking process, minimizes errors, and enhances overall warehouse efficiency.Here's a basic overview of how Pick to Light works:● Item Location Identification:Each storage location (bin, shelf, or container) in the warehouse is equipped with a light module.● Order Information Display:When an order is received, the Pick to Light system is activated.The system identifies the items and the quantity required for the order.● Light Guidance:Lights associated with the required items illuminate to guide the operator to the correct locations.The illuminated lights serve as visual cues, directing the operator to pick the specified quantity from each location.● Confirmation:After picking the items, the operator typically confirms the completion of the pick by pressing a button or triggering a sensor.● Order Fulfillment:The picked items are then moved to a packing or shipping area for further processing.

Is the template for Pick to Light customizable?

Yes, the Pick to Light system supports customizable templates. Templates can be configured through the Pick to Light labels software after logging in. They support various elements such as text, QR codes, barcodes, images, and background images.

What are the differences between SETP_Label_V24 and V23 in the Pick to Light series?

1. The refresh rate of the V24 screen is slightly slower than the V23 because the V24 screen is larger and contains more data.2. The V24 screen flickers during updates, while the V23 does not.

What system does your SETP_Router_V1.4 base station provide? Is it a Pick to Light picking system?

The system we provide is a label management system, not a Pick to Light picking system. If you purchase our label management system, we can offer you free integration with your Pick to Light picking system to meet your needs.

After purchasing Pick to Light products, can you provide technical support?

After purchasing Pick to Light products, if we need to deploy the PTL system locally, can you provide technical support? Is there any cost involved?A: Our SETP_Router_V1.4 Pick to Light base station comes with built-in label management software, eliminating the need for local deployment. For our SETP_Router_V1.2 base station, which requires the purchase of label software, we offer free deployment assistance.

Pick to Light Wireless communication rate and Network communication rate, what do these mean?

The wireless communication rate of 200kbps refers to the communication speed between the base station and Pick to Light labels. The network communication rate of 10/100 Mbps refers to the communication speed between the computer and the base station.

What functionalities do Pick to Light software offer?

1. Device Management: Manage electronic label devices, query related information about electronic labels and base stations, and check their status.2. Template Management: Create and manage templates.3. Interface Integration: Provide docking interfaces.4. Callback Address Setting: Set interface callback addresses for updating results, button presses, light indications, etc.

Are the feedback speed and responsiveness of V23 and V24 consistent in the pick to light products?

While the feedback speed and responsiveness of both V23 and V24 are generally consistent, there are some differences to note. The refresh rate of V24 is slightly slower compared to V23. This variance can be attributed to the larger screen size and higher data volume of V24, which require a fractionally longer processing time. Additionally, during updates, V24 may exhibit screen flickering, a phenomenon not observed in V23. However, apart from these distinctions, other aspects of speed and responsiveness remain consistent across both versions of our pick to light products.

Does the Pick to Light system support integration with third-party software, such as ERP or WMS?

Yes, it does. There are two available integration options:1. The Pick to Light system can be integrated with customer software through custom interfaces or tailored functionalities to meet specific business requirements. However, this method involves a longer development cycle and may incur customization development fees.2. Customers can directly integrate their software with the existing interfaces of the Pick to Light system. This approach is straightforward, but it requires the customer to possess software development capabilities. We provide hardware and technical support in this integration process.

What's the difference Between SETP_Router_V1.2 and SETP_Router_V1.4 Base Stations
