Picking Tools
In order to facilitate the creation of a working environment around a vertical storage lift that is as good and efficient as possible, a number of picking tools are available. These enable the operator to quickly identify where on the load tray the item that is to be picked is located.
A pick display, laser pointer, or LED bar provides assistance when a load tray containing items appears in the handling opening. They not only make picking simpler, but also faster and more ergonomic, almost completely eliminating the risk of picking errors. Choose the picking tool that best meets the needs of your business, or why not try combining them to for the ultimate picking tool?
LED bar
The LED bar is made up of a number of LEDs that are placed in a row along the front edge of the handling opening. The diodes come on to mark the line from which an item is to be picked, and a number indicates the compartment in that line where the item is located. The LED bar is an efficient picking tool that works best if used in combination with a pick display. Information about incoming or outgoing deliveries, as well as up to date quantities prevent picking errors. In order for the LED bar to work as intended, the vertical storage lift must be controlled by a superordinate system, e.g. Compact Store.

Laser pointer
In instances where trays contain multiple compartments that hold small items, a laser pointer is an effective picking tool. A 50 mm cone of steady green laser points down into the compartment from which the next pick is to be made. The laser pointer works best in combination with a picking display that specifies incoming or outgoing deliveries and quantities, making picking errors almost impossible.
In order for the laser pointer to work, the vertical storage lift must be controlled by a superordinate system, e.g. Compact Store.

Pick display
The pick display is a screen that, by means of an easy to read interface, shows the operator all necessary information pertaining to an order along with an overview of the load tray. Color coding specifies the position of the compartment from which the pick is to be made, minimizing picking errors. An arrow on the screen indicates where it is an incoming delivery, an outgoing delivery, or a stocktaking exercise.
The pick display is the most commonly used picking tool for Compact vertical storage lifts and may be enough on its own in instances where trays are split into larger compartments. It can also be combined with other picking tools in order to further facilitate work or in instances where trays have smaller and more numerous compartments.

Ring scanner
Using a scanner that acknowledges components, storage locations, and orders increases the reliability of picking and stock control. Choose between a hand held scanner or a ring/finder scanner. The input model acts as a keyboard replacement and is used to scan in a PC dialog. The acknowledgment model is used to scan at a vertical storage lift or work table. It can be used for both put-aways and take-outs, and replaces the acknowledgment process previously done at the vertical storage lift. The scanner requires the control of Compact Store, another WMS, or ERP.
