Hybrid Concept
When it comes to complex tasks, a single technology can rarely meet all customer requirements. In order to meet the varying requirements of picking systems, we often use several technologies simultaneously. This allows us to create the optimal system. By using hybrid technology, our systems remain highly flexible and are often automatically adapted to new situations.
Voice Picking pick-by-light
During picking or sequencing, large and small parts are stored differently. Orders for mixed products often have different requirements. On the one hand, large parts must be removed with both hands, which means that picking performance may be lower, but on the other hand, small parts must be removed from the shelves quickly and safely. To solve such tasks, we have simultaneously Voice Picking for large parts and pick-by-light for small parts.
In this case, our system automatically detects the availability of the displays and controls the voice dialogues differently. On the other hand, when picking large parts, only Voice Picking sequential output and voice dialogues is used. For small parts, the pick-by-light displays are switched on simultaneously at all required compartments and only the LED color is output via voice. If necessary, the pick-by-light displays can be easily retrofitted. The LUCA software automatically recognizes the new displays.
Voice Picking Pick-by-Point®
With Voice Picking , the problem often arises that employees have to communicate too much with the voice system when picking at high speeds. To reduce the constant announcement of check sums, which the employee knows by heart anyway, we show them the picking compartment with Pick-by-Point®, whereby only the quantity is announced by voice.
The fact that the Pick-by-Point® system's lamp illuminates the entire picking compartment provides additional security in accordance with the poka-yoke principle. Picking can be confirmed using a scanner or voice dialogue. The employee only confirms the number of items picked using voice recognition. The hybrid system significantly increases picking performance compared to Voice Picking .
Here we have presented only a selection of the possible hybrid concept solutions. There are many other variants that can be used very effectively and innovatively in the hybrid concept. For further information, please contact us.
