What is Pick to Light, pick-to-light or pick by light?

Pick to Light Order Fulfillment

One of the most popular warehouse order picking or order fulfillment technologies on the market is called pick to light, pick-to-light or pick by light.

Pick to Light is an order picking technology that has been adopted by many warehouse fulfillment systems.  Pick to light is an order fulfillment system that is light directed, which helps order pickers increase their pick speeds and pick accuracy.  By eliminating paper picking, order picking operators no longer need a paper order in their hands to manually look and pick an order.
Instead, pick to light systems uses a computer to direct lights at pick locations (on carousels, carton flow rack, shelving storage, static shelving and batch picking carts, and others) to indicate the items and quantities to pick.  Once order pickers complete the task indicated by the light modules, they simply push a button to confirm their picks.  In a Put to Light module, it is the similar, but items are put to carts, totes or bins where pick lights indicate where items are to be put to.

From this illustration of the pick to light order picking warehouse system, you can see that it is common to have the pick to light set up with conveyer systems.  Here, order pickers are stationed in a pick zone and put items into the carts/ totes behind them.
