Put to Light...How Does it Work?
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 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.

Why Use Put to Light
|
-
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 consistant on a day to day basis.
