In many high-performance picking operations, how cartons or totes get to the pick areas can be just as important as the pick process itself. Lightning Pick’s container routing solution (LP Convey) streamlines that process.
LP Convey routes cartons or totes on conveyors in coordination with Lightning Pick picking technologies for more efficient order selection and material flow.
LP Convey uses data within the Lightning Pick database to understand container routing requirements. The system integrates with conveyor programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and conveyor-mounted barcode readers over an Ethernet network to identify and divert containers into the required pick areas.
By using a unique decision-point configuration approach, the PLC is relieved of the data handling tasks associated with most barcode-based applications. The result is a system that plant personnel can easily modify and maintain.
LP Convey can also route to quality control, value-add and supplemental pick areas, or to order finishing automation, based on real-time pick data or data from check-weighers or manifest systems. More complex applications are handled through a real-time message queue interface. This standardized approach allows integration with a number of leading warehouse control software (WCS) providers.
Boost picking speed by 40 to 200% and reduce travel time by up to 70%, transforming your throughput and cycle times.
Wireless, mobile pick-to-light lets workers pick to multiple totes on a single cart, streamlining complex workflows.
Ideal for warehouses with large SKU counts, carts offer a scalable, economical alternative to fixed pick-to-light or AS/RS.
Carts are compatible with AGVs, AMRs and conveyor-integrated sleds, so your investment is prepared for tomorrow's technology.
System design accounts for your unique product and order dimensions.
We prioritize safety and ergonomics so carts are comfortable and safe for daily use.
