Global Pick Light System Market

Pick To Light System Market Insights

The global pick to light system market is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period.  Factors such as enhanced productivity, accuracy, and more efficient record keeping are anticipated to boost the market growth over the coming years. Also, lower operational costs through reduced labor coupled with minimized errors and predictable picking process are further likely to contribute towards the market growth.

Pick-to-Light system makes use of light devices placed at item locations on flow rack, workstations or other storage media to direct operators to the correct product locations. The operator then scans the bar code license plate attached to either a shipping carton or a tote to launch an order in their zone. Illuminated LEDs guide pickers to the right product location, and shows the exact quantity required.

Moreover, factors such as reduced employee training time coupled with better customer service and an intelligent pick process are projected to drive the global market over the coming years.

Pick To Light System Market: Component Insights

The global pick to light system market is divided into Hardware and Software, based on components. The hardware segment is sub divided into Light Device, Alphanumeric Bay Displays, and Installation Materials.

Hardware type is projected to grow at a substantial rate over the forecast period. Light Device serves as the primary interface between picking system and the operator. Majority of light devices makes use of LED to trace the product SKU and to identify the exact quantity of the products required to be picked.

Alphanumeric bay displays are mounted on each bay of rack or pick zones. Alphanumeric displays, generally light-emitting diodes, help the operators to find the exact storage location and exact unit requirement of products. The operator sets these items in the container and confirms the activity, usually by pressing a button next to the display. Displays keep on lighting up in the operator's work zone, guiding them towards the next pick up location.

Software segment is anticipated to gain a significant market share over the projected period. The advanced pick-to-light systems come with a solid interface between the PTL software and the users’ ERP, supply chain management, and warehouse management system software.
