An industrial laser projector, optionally with a red or green projection, is placed above the picking station in a tray warehouse and marked with a geometric figure, a letter, a number or text that clearly indicates which compartment the picker should pick up the goods from, and in what order (Pick-by -Light).
This same application is also useful for the storage of articles. The location and number of items to be stored are communicated to the order picker by means of a laser light. Even the name of the article or item number can be displayed (Put-to-Light).
The position data, which usually also includes specific geometries, is obtained directly from the laser projector via the control software of the warehouse management system, or via a decentralized PLC control. Tray geometry is fully configurable and can be modified and re-created by the user anytime. This is a significant advantage since there are different tray sizes, each with a different fan division.
Laser projections are also a great help with assembly. For example, they can also provide clear indications as to how many screws need be used, or which part need be mounted next onto a corresponding material container. The order-picker or installer is guided through the compartments in order, and told to select the proper parts, as well as how many.
The LP-CUBE laser projector ensures invariably accurate withdrawals. Its adaptable concept minimizes errors in assembly, packaging, and picking. It increases picking performance by reducing picking times. A visual support guides the employees intuitively, shortens training time for new employees dramatically, and allows for a higher degree of flexibility in movements of personnel.
Special Uses:
- Easy connection to PLC or warehouse management software
- Easy-to-read display and precise projection, even on large work areas
- High reliability and longevity
Advantages:
- Minimizes errors during storage and picking
- Accelerates the process
- Lower training times for employees
- High flexibility in terms of warehouse design and layout
