Pick-to-light
September 1st 2007

Available from Metrix Electronics, is a 'pick-to-light' system that is designed to enhance warehouse efficiency.

The modular mipick system is said to offer flexible, cost-effective stock picking solutions, enabling manual picking to be fully integrated into existing or new computercontrolled order-processing and warehouse applications.

The concept is described as simple, paperless and highly efficient. Each module has a lamp to show which items are to be picked, a numeric display to show what quantity and a push-button to confirm that the item has been picked. The robust aluminium modules are 160 or 175 by 60mm and just 30mm deep.

The display format can be customised for different applications. Modules are easy to connect to a 115kB RS-485 data bus and 12V power supply.
