Electronic light-signal picking system - pick-and-place type
Electronic light-based order picking systems are mainly divided into pick-and-place and seed-based order picking.
These two methods differ in their operational procedures, applicable scenarios, and advantages. The following is a detailed introduction to these two sorting methods:
Pick-up
Operating procedures
1. Order allocation: Each picker picks goods according to the order requirements.
2. Light guidance: The system displays the corresponding light according to the order details, and the picker retrieves the goods from the storage location according to the light prompts.
3. Confirm Picking: After the picker selects the goods, they press the confirmation button on the indicator light. The system records the completion status and updates the data.
4. Order Completion: After completing all order items, transport the goods to the packaging area or shipping area.
Applicable Scenarios
• Small orders: Suitable for handling multiple small-batch orders, with a smaller number of items per order.
• Diverse products: The products are of many types and widely distributed, requiring pickers to pick them one by one.
• Fast delivery: Situations requiring rapid order picking and delivery.
advantage
• High efficiency: Each order is handled by a dedicated person, making the operation simple and the picking speed fast.
• High accuracy: The light indicators are clear, resulting in a low error rate in picking.
• Highly flexible: It can quickly adapt to changes in different order requirements and picking volumes.
Soil-based selection
Operating procedures
1. Order Consolidation and Picking: Pickers follow system instructions to pick all the goods required for multiple orders from various storage locations and consolidate them onto the picking cart.
2. Product Allocation: Bring the collected products to the sorting area. The system will then activate the corresponding seeding light, indicating which order box or area each product should be assigned to.
3. Confirm Allocation: The picker allocates the goods to the corresponding order boxes according to the light prompts and presses the confirmation button.
4. Order completion: After all goods have been allocated, the order boxes are transported to the packaging area or shipping area.
Applicable Scenarios
• Large-volume orders: Suitable for handling large-volume orders, where each order contains a large number of items.
• Batch of similar products: The product types are relatively concentrated, making it suitable for centralized selection and redistribution.
• Centralized sorting: Situations requiring efficient centralized sorting and allocation to multiple orders.
advantage
• High efficiency: Pick up items from multiple orders at once, reducing the time spent on repeated picking.
• Saves time: The sorting and distribution processes are completed centrally, improving overall operational efficiency.
• Highly adaptable: It can handle large-volume orders and centralized sorting needs.
Summary
• Pick-to-order: Each order is picked individually, suitable for small orders, diverse products, and fast delivery needs.
• Seed-based sorting: Picking is done in batches and then distributed. It is suitable for large orders, batches of similar products, and centralized sorting needs.
Choosing the appropriate electronic light picking system based on specific business needs and warehouse operation mode can significantly improve picking efficiency and accuracy.
