August 7, 2002—By integrating pick-to-light workstations into order picking and warehouse applications, companies can increase storage and retrieval efficiency up to 300 percent, says FastPic Systems.
The Pick-to-Light Interface from FastPic Systems enhances the efficiency of static racks and shelving used in applications and creates the foundation for the step-by-step integration of fully automated storage and retrieval systems.
The FastPic4 Pick-to-Light interface facilitates the integration of Pick-to-Light modules, a series of multi-color alphanumeric displays that control order picking operations. Pick-to-Light modules eliminate the need for operators to travel aisles with a paper pick list selecting stored items from rack and shelf systems. A computer sends the storage system an electronic pick list that activates Pick-to-Light modules, through FastPic4 software, visually indicating the pick location and the quantity to be picked. A Standard Interface Protocol provides a direct link between host systems such as WMS, LESA, ERP, and other specific parts systems with FastPic4 inventory management and control software.
