E-COMMERCE ORDER CLASSIFICATION
The Put solution optimizes batch picking and high-speed sorting operations with a process sometimes called reverse pick-to-light. With the “put to light” system, operators scan an item and illuminate the locations representing a store or a customer who needs that item. This solution offers options that maximize speed and accuracy.
PROCEDURE
Order preparation is carried out by means of a mobile trolley that allows to integrate several components of the grouped order. The computer system informs the operator of the optimal route of collection with a mobile terminal. This process saves time of displacement of the operator. Once the grouped order has been completed, the operator can move to the sorting rack.
SCAN AND SORT BY LIGHT
The operator reads each element with a scan. This makes the displays illuminate wherever the item is needed to complete the order. Operators distribute the items and press the validation key to confirm that the light is turned off. When an order is completed, the display shows and indicates that it’s complete and ready to be sent.
MANAGEMENT OF MANY ORDERS
After an order is completed, on the back side the display illuminates and indicates that the order is complete and ready to be sent. Consequently, an operator can pick up the finished orders without interfering with other operators working on the frontal side.
CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
The customized solutions allow to optimize the preparation of orders according to the necessity of the client.
In this case the size of the cells is varied with 56 locations. Each location incorporates a display on both sides: front and back, facilitating the picking and collection of the finished order.
