5. Advantages of Paperless Picking.

Unbeatable simplification, reliability and flexibility.
A high degree of cost-effectiveness.
Maximum competitiveness in installation and maintenance costs.
Accuracy of operations, practically eliminating all possibility of error.
Increase in productivity.
Speed: operation time is significantly reduced.
Fewer workers are needed (up to 50% less).
Real-time information on order progress and status.
Real-time monitoring of the content of each case.
Improvement in system management and client service quality.

What really stands out about the Pick To Light Systems "Reduced Wiring Network" system is that its solutions are based on maximising the speed, productivity and efficiency of the operations, reducing errors to a minimum.

It means a leap forward in quality, based on important technological advances enhancing technical and functional simplicity. And it means differential advantages as regards both savings and quality of service.

The tiny AI-NET communication chip is a technological breakthrough. With the name of "Reduced Wiring Network" technology or "Twin Wire technology", it enables power and data to be transmitted using two cables only. The cabling of the conventional DPS (Digital Picking System) is therefore reduced to just two wires. At present it is the only solution with these characteristics on the market.

All the products and solutions provided by Pick To Light Systems can be integrated in one single control system.

This technological simplification gives it a great competitive advantage over other systems, economising on both installation time and subsequent maintenance, and it also makes it extremely flexible in case of system extension or modification, even in already-existing installations.

The "Twin Wire" system gathers operative information from the company's management system, transmitting the orders digitally to exactly where the work needs to be done.

As the information is in digital form there is no need for the worker to note anything down on paper, and so as well as having both hands free for his work, the operative inefficiencies that so often occur when reading and taking notes on paper are eliminated, and so is the time spent searching for the exact location of each article.

The system is based on visual communication, and the worker, guided by lights, interacts with it by pressing buttons. This allows him to inform of the work he is completing in real time and of any other anticipated incidents, and makes real-time supervision of operation progress and status possible.

It is a visual method, much more intuitive than paperwork, and this cuts out errors deriving from misinterpretation of information, products missing from the lists and worker errors in entering data. Practically all human error can be avoided. The simplicity of the system means that virtually no staff training is necessary.
