QC Workstations

Improve the speed and accuracy of your quality control verification process with the Lightning Pick QC Workstation. More accurate than paper-based processes, QC operators have an automated method of checking the quality of orders against the Lightning Pick real-time database.

Optimize quality control speed and accuracy over paper-based "read and verify" methods

In standard applications, totes flow to the Lightning Pick QC station, which features a network-connected PC. The QC operator scans a barcode on the tote with a hand-held barcode scanner, which displays all items required in the order on an eye-level LCD touchscreen. The operator empties the tote into a tray on one side of the station, scans each item on the flatbed scanner mounted in the workstation tabletop, and the touchscreen shows whether each item is correct or incorrect. Items are then returned to the tote on the opposite side of the station.

Scan and Check.

This displays all items required in the order on the eye-level LCD touchscreen for easy interface. The operator then empties the contents of the tote into a tray on one side of the station. As each item is scanned, the touchscreen shows that the items are either correct or incorrect. Finally, the items are returned to the tote on the opposite side of the QC station.

Heads-up visual display

Audio and visual feedback is presented to the operator during item scans, increasing speed and accuracy. Mis-picks, over-picks, incorrect and missing products are all flagged on screen, while optional operator messages prompt input of customer-specific error codes or descriptive text. Software interaction happens through large on-screen buttons, avoiding repetitive keyboard and mouse use. On completion, a detailed shortage report can be printed on any nearby network printer.

See contents and status

QC Workstation software displays details about the expected contents of the current container on the upper portion of the screen. Status and results are displayed on the lower portion. A running comparison of items scanned versus expected quantities, as confirmed by the pick-to-light picker, is continually updated.
