What is pick to cart
Pick to cart is an automated process within order picking whereby orders are guided directly to a specific order picker in the right box, in the right quantities, using pick-to-light.
Equipping the order picker with pick-to-light makes it an ideal multi-order picking solution. Because the order pick trolley is equipped with pick-to-light, luminous disaplys guide employees to the correct storage locations and indicate how many items need to be picked, while the order pick trolley ensures a streamlined collection. This results in faster order turnaround and higher productivity in the warehouse.

Efficient pick to cart with seamless WMS integration
The pick to light cart includes several applications designed to improve and streamline the work of the order picker, with a strong emphasis on its connection to the WMS. The order picker cart is connected to your Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Enterprise Resource Planning (EPR) system via bidirectional communication. This ensures seamless data exchange between the E-pick-to-light cart and the WMS/ERP, allowing real-time updates on order statuses, stock levels and other relevant information.
This integration allows warehouse staff to work more efficiently, with accurate and up-to-date information readily available from the WMS/ERP system. This leads to improved order processing and higher overall productivity in the warehouse.
