WMS GLOSSARY

Pick to Light

← Back to Glossary

An order picking system that uses LED lights and digital displays mounted on storage locations to guide warehouse workers through the picking process. When a pick list is activated, lights illuminate at specific bin locations while digital displays show the exact quantity to pick. Workers confirm picks by pressing a button, which extinguishes the light and advances to the next location.

This technology significantly reduces picking errors and training time while increasing productivity by up to 50% compared to paper-based systems. Pick-to-light eliminates the need for workers to read pick lists or scan barcodes at each location, creating a hands-free, eyes-up picking experience that minimizes fatigue and confusion.

Most effective in operations with high-volume, repetitive picking of small items from static storage locations, such as e-commerce fulfillment centers, pharmaceutical distribution, and parts warehouses where accuracy and speed are critical for customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
