Lightning Pick provides an ecologically and economically sound alternative to using the substantial amounts of paper pick tickets and labels required by manual picking operations. Pick, Put and Pack-to-Light order selection and sortation strategies are paperless, and therefore conserve natural resources.
Light-directed picking methodologies also address energy concerns by consuming lower amounts of electricity than other automated picking methods, including other models of Pick-to-Light hardware available in the marketplace.
When its pick-to-light system kept breaking down, hair-care products manufacturer Goody knew it was time to update its equipment. A Lightning Pick retrofit solved the problem while boosting productivity and accuracy for this major Wal-Mart supplier.

Our customers know the advantages of Lightning Pick providing a true, tested and versioned product. Unlike custom developed applications, the LP product is simpler to install and integrate with host business systems, offers better performance for rigorous daily operations and is far easier to support when necessary. As an actual product Lightning Pick is also easier to upgrade, allowing our customers to take advantage of new innovative features and modules.
Therefore Lightning Pick’s continuous product development requires considerable software testing before it’s ready for delivery. So we are pleased to welcome Sandi Tibbetts as the new Software Test Engineer.
