Questions and answers about Pick-by-Light from ekko

What does Pick by Light mean?
e delete

Pick-by-light is a modern, paperless picking system used in warehouse logistics and shipping. Highly visible lights directly above the picking compartment indicate which item is to be picked and how much. This visual guidance eliminates the need for paper lists, making the picking process significantly faster and easier while reducing manual errors.

A pick-by-light system consists of electronic displays, or electronic shelf labels (ESL), on each shelf that highlight the picking location and have confirmation and counting functions. This allows companies to improve process reliability and minimize error rates while increasing efficiency in the warehouse and on the shopfloor.

Pick-by-Light is ideal for environments where high picking speeds, low error rates, and user-friendly work processes are essential, such as e-commerce warehouses, production supply, and mail order. With the ekko Pick-by-Light system, you get the right hardware and user-friendly, easily scalable software. You can easily upgrade to e-kanban processes with our Pick-by-Light system as needed.
