Computer Aided Picking System
The Computer Aided Picking System (CAPS) is a highly efficient guidance solution designed to streamline picking and put‑away operations in warehouses. By using light indicators to identify the correct storage locations and display the required quantities, CAPS significantly improves picking accuracy and operational efficiency while reducing order congestion caused by manual order verification.
For businesses that require frequent order confirmation and high‑volume picking activities, CAPS provides a reliable and effective solution to optimise daily warehouse operations.
What Is a Computer Aided Picking System (CAPS)?
CAPS replaces traditional paper pick lists with electronic labels and light‑guided instructions. The system is commonly categorised into Pick‑to‑Light and Put‑to‑Light solutions.
By reading order data and identifying the required items, the system activates electronic labels on the corresponding storage locations. Warehouse staff simply follow the illuminated indicators to pick or place the specified quantities. This direct visual guidance not only reduces the likelihood of errors but also significantly enhances overall productivity.
Benefits of Computer Aided Picking System:
- Increased Productivity
- Highly Efficient
- Paperless
- Lower Labor Costs
- Improved Order Accuracy
CAPS systems typically utilise multi‑colour LED lights combined with alphanumeric displays showing item references and quantities, providing an accurate and efficient method for picking, placing, sorting, and assembling products.
Pick to Light System
Once order requirements are confirmed, the Pick‑to‑Light system guides operators to the correct storage locations using illuminated indicators, while simultaneously displaying the required quantities. Staff can complete picking tasks accurately by following the light signals, greatly reducing picking errors and improving order fulfilment speed.
Put to Light System
The Put‑to‑Light system operates on a similar principle. Light indicators guide operators to place products and specified quantities into designated storage or sorting locations. This allows multiple orders to be sorted simultaneously within a short period of time, significantly improving order preparation speed and accuracy.
