container routing

In many high-performance picking operations how the cartons or totes get to the pick areas can be just as important as the pick process itself. LP Convey can help streamline that process.

LP Convey makes use of data within the Lightning Pick database to understand the container routing requirements. The system integrates with conveyor control programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and the conveyor mounted bar code readers over Ethernet network to identify and divert containers into required pick areas. Our unique decision point configuration approach relieves the PLC of data handling tasks associated with most bar code based applications and results in a system that is easily modified and maintained by plant personnel.

• LP Convey is offered as both a stand alone solution and as a fully integrated piece of a Lightning Pick order picking application utilizing ‘intelligent’ or ‘dynamic’ zoning.
• The PC-based system integrates with conveyor control programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and the conveyor mounted bar code readers over an Ethernet network.
• Standardized approach allows seamless integration with a number of leading Warehouse control (WCS) package providers.
• Easily configurable features include programmable routes, decision points and destinations.
• Complete process tracking and reporting.
• The unique decision point configuration approach relieves the PLC of data handling tasks associated with most bar code applications.
