- Issues
- Each vegetable requires a different opening size, so the company needed to be able to change the configurations easily.
- The company was using another company’s Pick to Light System, but was unable to change shelf pitch easily; they had to remove lamps from openings to make the changes when new items were added.
- introduction
Pitch change work now requires only half as many operators
- Our light modules are easily removable without special tools, so pitch change work now requires only half as many operators as before.
- Part-time operators involved in pitch change work are now assigned to shipping and inspection work, reducing lead time to shipping.
Solution
A pick to light system with light modules that facilitate pitch and location changes
We created a Pick to Light System with easily removable light modules that simplify the work of changing shelf pitch, which had been separate from daily shipping work in the past. High-volume items require three-digit light modules, while others require only two digits; our system makes it easy to change light modules in response to changes in shipping volumes.
