The use of a DPS (Digital Picking System) means all paperwork is eliminated
and movements are controlled electronically. Existing information
on all the order systems within the company is used, replacing the
printed information with electronic data transmission to the warehouse,
and the picker is directly notified of the work to be done at each
of the shelves where the products are stored.
Pick-To-Light technology enables the worker to find the location
and exact amount for the pick/put operation quickly and intuitively
by means of lights and LED displays.
The main advantage is error reduction. This system prevents product
recognition-related errors, it confirms the locations and adds accuracy
to the operations as a whole. The system uses lights to guide the
worker to the exact product location, showing him the amount ordered
and demanding confirmation as each article is picked.
System interactivity also means that the worker can carry out inventory
checks and replenish stocks directly at the lit modules.
This information enables constant process control, increasing handling
capacity and monitoring of order fulfilment, and reduces the worker's
workload and need for training.
Eliminating paperwork means doing away with a large number of unnecessary
tasks that provide no extra value. Work productivity increases significantly
as no papers need to carried, read from or written on, and there
is no lengthy searching for impossible-to-find products.
As this is a digital and visual system, it is much more intuitive
and easy to learn. Electronic data exchange also enables each employee's
work to be supervised automatically.
