With the Pick-by-Bridge special method, large parts are picked using a mobile gantry crane (automotive). With Pick-by-Bridge , positioning displays and target lamps Pick-by-Bridge mounted on the mobile structure. The exact position of the crane is determined by distance measuring systems or eLocation®.
The process
After the order LUCA-Server on the LUCA-Server the employee LUCA-Server guided to the picking location via positioning displays (similar to positioning in a car wash). For safety reasons, the portal crane in Pick-by-Bridge not usually controlled automatically, but only by the employee. When the correct position is reached, the STOP display is activated and the target compartment is illuminated. The crane can then be used to pick the item. An eLocation® or RFID system can be used directly on the crane hook for automatic confirmation. Alternatively, the picked items can also be scanned if required. Optionally, the storage position can also be signaled in the same way. The method can also be combined with other picking systems (e.g., pick-by-light, Voice Picking, etc.).
