Pack-to-Light

Lightning Pick

Pack-to-light (also called put-to-light or put-to-store) solutions quickly sort full cases of merchandise into store cartons for retail replenishment.

Pack-to-Light

Retail store replenishment, light-directed

An operator scans an incoming case in the break-pack area. The scan illuminates light modules that direct the worker to place product into the correct store carton in the required quantities. Pressing the light module confirms the task. Pack systems are ideal for fast flow-through operations and manage sortation across multiple distribution centers within a supply network.

Put-to-Store Sortation

Cases of merchandise are routed to the DC’s break pack area. An operator scans the case and lights illuminate, directing quick sortation of the product to the right store carton and in the right unit quantities. Once the product is put to the store carton, the light module is extinguished to confirm the activity was completed.

Easily Add Capacity

Lightning Pick’s cable-free light module design gives LP Pack the scalability and flexibility to quickly accommodate store location changes, and growth in a wide variety of rack and conveyor configurations. Further, a variety of advanced, integrated RF scanning technology options enable additional task management — along with the lights.
