Pick-to-Light shelf displays «PTF series» for warehouse picking
The “classic” solution for picking from flow racks or shelving systems, pallet storage locations and anywhere else where “robust” work is required.
Our shelf displays (pick to light displays) are available with a variety of modern features to optimize your picking processes.
Key features
