Paperless, error-free selection

Versatile pick-to-light system
September 21st 2006

With the introduction of MachPick, control and automation specialist MacDonald Humfrey has launched an intelligent manual pick identification system that gives a visual light indication where an item is stored, creating both a paperless and error-free selection operation.

MachPick is a modular configurable system catering for a wide variety of applications in both warehousing and production environments, where a correct pick is essential. One advantage is that it offers multi-colour light configuration allowing specific colour coding for individual operators working in the same area, making MachPick one of the most versatile pick-to-light systems available.

Correct pick location is achieved by automatic illumination of a series of LEDs immediately adjacent the storage location. It also supports many supervisory roles through a count process, operator pick confirmation or weigh-scales,automatic alerts signalling when pre-set low stock levels are reached.
