if more than 1 person is picking on the same line at the same time. How can you tell who's light is who's ?

[LightningPick]

@chrisalive1975 - Pick to Light is ideal of Zone Picking where each picker works a specific area and set of SKUs, each order is picked and passed through the zones being built to completion. Demarcation lights on the bays of rack indicate the zone area for each picker.

@chrisalive1975 - For situations where there must be multiple pickers working from the same SKU/ line item Lightning Pick offers multicolor light hardware options. Each picker is assigned a color for their shift, the light device displays that color and corresponding quantity so each picker working from that line makes the right selection.

Hi! I'm writing a paper on picking technologies, and my question is: Can the picked quantity checked in any way with this solution (I mean check if the worker picked the correct quantity)?

@vruah -

4. Lightning Pick has been integrated to automated weight scale check systems.

5. Pick to Light depends on the right product being in the correct rack or shelf location. The replenishment side of the equation can also be automated with RF, Put to Light, Voice or other tools.

2. The automated LP QC Workstation. The station gives operators an automated method of checking order quality against our real-time database.

3. RF verification. Our lights can direct operators to scan verify specific SKUs before the pick is confirmed and they can move on to the next pick. This has been used by pharmaceutical, medical or food processing companies where they need the speed of Pick to Light but must adhere to special requirements like pedigree laws.

@vruah - Yes, there are a few ways to add QC to the Pick to Light process, including:

1. Retentive Displays. The Lightning Pick system offers the option of retentive displays, where the quantity light stay lit even after the confirmation button has been pushed. The operator can recall and even quick recheck what was supposed to be selected from that pick face.
