Pick-to-Light Module: PTF-L-7
PTF-L-7
44 mm x 50 mm
The Pick-to-Light (Pick-to-Light) compartment display has a very slim design and has no display. It does not have a mechanical acknowledgement button and is used in the standard version for applications where no quantities and no direct acknowledgement on the display is required. With this compartment display, only the withdrawal compartment is signalled (e.g. single item for automotive applications).
With the standard version of the PTF-L-7, the picking acknowledgement is usually done by a barcode scanner, RFID reader, PC, etc. This compartment display can also be used for the C-articles in combination with a central display in the system. In this case, all C compartments of a shelf block are equipped with this Pick by Light display. In addition, a central display with a quantity display and acknowledgement button is mounted on the C-shelf block. The removal in the C-shelf is then itself sequential.

The L-7 directly shows the removal compartment and the central display shows the required quantity and is also used for removal confirmation. The central display can also be used for corrections of short quantities, stocktaking and zero-crossing. The L-7 without sensor can also be used as a target display for sorting processes (Put-to-Light), whereby the delivery to the compartment is done by scanner or Pick-Radar is acknowledged or monitored.
