Pick-to-Light Module: PTF-ZCTRL2

PTF-ZCTRL2
224 mm x 50 mm
ONE module TWO applications in one Pick by 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 serves primarily as a local interface between connected Pick by Light displays and the user. This makes the construction of the Pick by Light systems even easier. In many cases, the module can replace previously required PC-based terminals in a plant.
When used as a zone display or info display, extensive employee information can be shown on the significantly larger colour display. In addition, even the innovative touch field operation by means of a resistive touch screen, freely definable soft keys (on-screen keys), display of bar or QR code, text displays in different sizes and colours as well as graphic displays of lines and rectangular shapes are part of the extended range of functions. In addition, the automatic display alignment function allows horizontal and vertical display mounting. You can't build such an excellent product yourself.

As a zone controller, the module has modern interfaces. These include a direct network/Internet connection (Ethernet), two USB connections, RS232, and of course the PTF-BUS with electronic overcurrent protection as well as data communication. In addition to the technical innovations mentioned above, the module is equipped with the oval eye-catching lamp (2×7 colour combinations). With the L-Touch function, a wear-free acknowledgement or input confirmation function is also available by lightly touching the eye-catching lamp.
The module can be used flexibly as a zone controller in a Pick by Frame® solution or as a pure information display in a Pick-to-Light system, and can be adapted to individual customer requirements.
Why different names?
Pick by Light
With the method Pick by Light is about classic picking with the help of Pick by Light displays. Here the Pick by Light display shows the withdrawal quantity directly at the storage compartment. The system receives the acknowledgement of the withdrawal mostly by pressing a key on the module.
pick to light
The term is often misused and therefore often Pick by Light confused with. The Pick to Light method is a Multi-Order-Picking method that focuses on distributing articles that have just been picked to different orders. The method is used classically in a Pick by Cart system.
Put to Light
The Put to Light method clearly defines a distribution of goods to the target compartments. As a classic example, the replenishment in a flow rack (German: Durchlaufkanal) can be mentioned here.
