Totes come to the picker, lights show where to put each item, several hundred lines per person-hour.
A goods-to-person station is where shuttle, miniload or mobile-robot systems meet the operator. The source tote arrives at the bench, the screen shows item and quantity, a light marks the target order slot, the picker places the item and confirms, and the tote returns to storage. The bench is ergonomically laid out and can include weight checks and barcode verification.
Typical uses
- Multi-order piece picking in e-commerce and retail
- High-accuracy picking in pharma and cosmetics
- Kitting for production lines
- Returns receiving and verification
