A warehouse technology that uses illuminated displays to guide workers to the correct storage locations during putaway operations. LED lights or digital displays mounted at pick faces, bin locations, or shelving units activate to show workers exactly where incoming inventory should be stored, often accompanied by quantity confirmations through button presses or barcode scans.
This technology significantly reduces putaway errors and training time while increasing worker productivity. By eliminating the need to constantly reference paper lists or handheld devices, put-to-light systems enable faster, more accurate inventory placement. The visual guidance is particularly valuable in high-volume operations with frequent product rotation or when working with temporary staff.
For example, after receiving a shipment of mixed SKUs, workers can scan each item and follow the illuminated path to its designated location, with the system automatically updating inventory records upon confirmation. This streamlines the putaway process and ensures optimal space utilization across the warehouse.
