RF Picking offers a cost effective alternative for applications within an order fulfillment operation with a large number of products and volume that does not justify installation of Pick to Light. LP RF operates on a wide range of scanning terminals. A customer may be able to employ their existing RF terminals.
Integration with the overall Lightning Pick Suite allows the user to configure some “areas” for RF picking and other areas for Pick to Light picking. All areas share a common host interface so that the higher-level systems (WMS and Business Hosts) view the pick area in a single unified process. Orders are allowed to flow freely between the different picking areas.
The Lightning Pick server communicates with LP RF terminals through the facility’s 802.11 network. The terminal displays the intended pick location and other product specific information, such as the product code or item number. The system is configurable to require scanning of the product ID or product location number to confirm the pick.
"Lightning Pick Technologies combination of Pick to Light for our fast moving SKUs and RF Picking for our low-volume areas allowed us to go paperless throughout our distribution center for order picking. With their LP Convey managing container routing and LP Messenger controlling weighing, manifesting, labeling and shipping, Lightning Pick provided multiple solutions for multiple processes throughout our operation."
