Pick-to-Light Module: PTF-ZCTRL2
PTF-ZCTRL2
224 mm x 50 mm
ONE module TWO applications in one Pick-to-Light system! The PTF-ZCTRL2 itself is an innovative further development that combines the functionality of a controller and the features of a zone display in one compact module. The display primarily serves as a local interface between connected Pick to Light displays and the user. This makes it even easier to build Pick to Light systems. In many cases, the module can replace previously required PC-based terminals in a system.
When used as a zone display or information display, extensive employee information can be shown on the significantly larger color display. The extended range of functions also includes innovative touch field operation using a resistive touchscreen, freely definable softkeys (on-screen buttons), barcode or QR code display, text displays in different sizes and colors as well as graphic displays of lines and rectangular shapes. In addition, the automatic display alignment enables both horizontal and vertical display mounting. You can't build such an outstanding product yourself.

As a zone controller, the module has modern interfaces. These include a direct network/Internet connection (Ethernet), two USB ports, RS232 and, of course, the PTF BUS with electronic overcurrent protection and data communication. In addition to the aforementioned technical innovations, the module is equipped with the oval eye-catching light (2×7 color combinations). The L-Touch function also provides a wear-free acknowledgement or input confirmation function by lightly touching the eye-catching light.
The module can be flexibly used as a zone controller in a Pick by Frame® solution or as a pure information display in a Pick-to-Light system, allowing it to be adapted to individual customer requirements.
Why different system names?
Pick-to-Light
The method Pick-to-Light involves classic order picking with the aid of compartment displays. The Pick-to-Light display shows the removal quantity directly at the storage compartment. The Pick-to-Light system usually receives confirmation of the removal by pressing a button on the module.
Pick-to-Light
The term is often used in English-speaking countries instead of Pick-to-Light . The Pick-to-Light method is a Multi-Order-Picking method that focuses on the distribution of items that have just been picked to different orders. The method is classically used with a picking trolley (Pick-by-Cart).
Put-to-Light
The put-to-light method clearly defines the distribution of goods to the target compartments. A classic example of this is replenishment in a flow rack.
