Product Overview

The Put to Light process is pick to light in reverse. In pick to light, each SKU has its own location. This means that when the order is moved into the pickers zone, each location needed for that order will illuminate, the picker will then pick the items in that zone from those locations, extinguish the lights, and pass the order to the next zone. In contrast, items for the orders in Put to Light are usually batch picked in the warehouse and brought to the Put to Light system. The picker will scan an item and all the locations that need that item will illuminate. The picker will put the item to each location and extinguish the light. As soon as the order has filled, the location will illuminate and display the word "done". This order is now fulfilled and can be removed from the location and is ready for shipment.

Features/Benefits

• Put to Light systems are SKU independent. If a company has a lot of SKU's, a location is not necessary for each SKU.
• Put to Light applications are usually at a lower cost than pick to light because not as many locations are needed.
• Put to Light is frequently used in retail type applications because the number of orders are usually consistent on a day to day basis.
