System Overview
Electronic rack labels guide operators to the correct location, display quantity/instruction, and confirm task completion by button, barcode scan, RFID or sensor feedback.
Why Use PTL?
1. Reduce search, confirm and re-check time
2. Standardize operator workflow
3. Lower skill requirement for new operators
4. Synchronize orders, stock and operation status
Reported error rate below 0.03%
Improve speed by 50%-200%
Real-time data monitoring
Install electronic labels on the shelf, in principle a place a product in the store (a label represents a product) and one order for a processing unit, system let the corresponse labels in the order light up, picking member according to the bright lights and digital display to take out the goods from the shelf. This is called pick to light according to the order.
Pick to light advantage
Save the search, confirm and re-check link, greatly improve the efficiency of picking

Each label represents an order customer or a distribution object. Taking out the total quantity of the ordered goods first, and scan the good’s bar code to light up the corresponse PTL label. The distributor can match the goods to the cargo space according to the light or digital display of the PTL label. Put to light wall can be divid fixed type or mobile type
