Done right, at the speed of light

Pick to Light is the fastest operator-based piece-picking solution available for order fulfilment.

Pick to light (PTL) systems use light modules mounted to racks or shelving to direct pickers (or Autonomous Vehicles) to the right product and quantities required for an order, job or build.

By eliminating the traditional manual pick-list, human errors are significantly reduced and time spent walking is minimised, enhancing the picking process and helping businesses achieve higher throughput gains and manage high volumes of pick demands.
