In many high-performance picking operations how the cartons or totes get to the pick areas can be just as important as the pick process itself. LP Convey can help streamline that process.
LP Convey makes use of data within the Lightning Pick database to understand the container routing requirements. The system integrates with conveyor control programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and the conveyor mounted bar code readers over Ethernet network to identify and divert containers into required pick areas. Our unique decision point configuration approach relieves the PLC of data handling tasks associated with most bar code based applications and results in a system that is easily modified and maintained by plant personnel.
For facility conveyor requirements outside the areas controlled by Lightning Pick, LP Convey can route to QC, value add, or supplemental pick areas based upon real time pick data or data from weight scales or manifest systems. More complex applications are handled through our real time MS Message Queues interface. This standardized approach allows seamless integration with a number or leading Warehouse Control (WCS) package providers.
