Pick and Put to Light
XPO Logistics will present its Pick and Put to Light system in the innovation gallery at SITL 2020 from March 17-20 in Paris.
XPO developed Pick and Put to Light from the ground up in collaboration with technology partner Actemium Lyon Logistics. The solution uses colour recognition to retrieve palletised products and route them within the warehouse, assisting employees with fulfilment processes. The technology is fully integrated with XPO’s warehouse management system.
XPO and Actemium designed Pick and Put to Light to address specific roadblocks to efficiency in logistics environments, including inefficient use of employee time and material handling vehicles and over-reliance on voice communication. The system has increased productivity by 14% on average in the picking process, improved utilisation of production capacity during peak periods and dramatically reduced operator training time, while enhancing speed, accuracy, control and safety.
Richard Cawston, managing director, supply chain – Europe, XPO Logistics, says: “Pick and Put to Light is an industry-first technology that improves service quality while enhancing the workplace for logistics employees.”
