Pick to Light for Lean Manufacturing Environments.

Lightning Pick Technologies’ LP Pick to Light solution is ideal for continuous improvement environments by reducing errors and defects in parts and components handling processes. The light-directed methodology is an effective poka-yoke (error proofing) device by directing operators to the correct parts and quantity of each required for the active Bill of Materials. The Lightning Pick methodology also supports kaizen events by eliminating wasted touches common to paper-based material handling approaches.

Lighnting Pick iis used in many mini markets, supermarkets, warehouses and other dedicated parts storage areas where operators are kitting, sequencing or picking parts for the production line. Lightning Pick optimizes Just in Time and pull production processes so the right parts are delivered at the right time, build after build. As a result our manufacturing customers have reduced downtime costs associated with defects, stoppage and re-work to improve overall process efficiency.

Lightning Pick offers distinct Pick to Light system product packages, each specifically engineered to meet a full range of project complexity and process requirements. These include:

LP Pick to Light™. Lighting Pick’s flagship product and the number one selling Pick to Light solution in North America. LP Pick offers the most advanced system management software tools available in the market. Software is fully integrated with the customers’ MRP, ERP, WMS, MES or other host system for seamless order/build/recipe file transfer. The full LP Pick product is typically the option for manufacturing groups seeking a large initial deployment of pick face locations, and wish to take advantage of robust system management tools like event notification, productivity statistics and automated support.

Build2Light™. This product gives manufacturers Best-in-Class hardware and enabling software in a more user independent package. Build2Light offers straightforward software tools without integration to host systems. Customers easily configure their own part specific builds and best practice light-directed procedures to execute them. With low cost of entry pricing, Build2Light is an ideal Proof of Concept pilot system providing rapid ROI justification. Thereby some users have used Build to Light as the fourndation from which they inevitably jump towards a full LP Pick system implementation. Other customers expand upon their Build2 Light system with additional hardware. This is a logical method for "Do It Yourself" organizations looking to enhance quality through using smaller numbers of light locations and simple management tools.
