When it comes to manual assembly in industry, it is crucial to work precisely, quickly and accurately to ensure the quality and safety of the end product and to ensure that deadlines are met. A pick-to-light system at the assembly workstation can hereby provide efficient support.
Pick-to-Light at an assembly workstation.
Each storage compartment has its own pick-by-light shelf display. The clear visual indication of the correct material container by signal light and digital quantity display at the workstations ensures that the employee always removes and installs the correct material or component.
This saves time when searching for material and avoids mistakes, as the signal lamps only light up for the containers that contain the required components. Additional options with sensor acknowledgement and container illumination of the PickTerm Flexible system (PTF) accelerate the workflow and increase efficiency.
Fast training of employees and untrained personnel
The intuitive system enables fast training of employees with different abilities and language skills in the shortest possible time, which reduces costs and increases productivity.
Digitization of manual production processes
The pick-to-light system is directly connected to the customer’s production or assembly planning software. When an assembly order is started, the sequence of work steps and the required material parts are automatically transmitted from the leading system to the pick-to-light displays. The removal of a component is digitally recorded by a button or sensor and transmitted to the system in real time. Material stocks are automatically updated and completed work steps are documented.
Practical application in industry
Manufacturing companies benefit from a visual picking system with pick to light: the light signals support a smooth and fast assembly, so that employees can fully concentrate on their main tasks while the system efficiently guides them through the process.
By integrating into digital manufacturing processes, a pick-to-light system contributes to increased efficiency and quality assurance.
