What is pick to light
Pick to light is an efficient method of order picking in which the system utilises light displays typically placed above product storage locations. When an order picker needs to retrieve a specific item, the display is activated, illuminating the storage area.
This allows the order picker to clearly see which item needs to be picked and in what quantity. Not only does this reduce the likelihood of errors, but it also increases the speed and efficiency of the order picking process, resulting in improved overall warehouse productivity.

Multi-order picking and Pick to Cart are two efficient methods used in warehouses to optimize the order picking process. Pick to Cart is an order picking method where the Pick to Light system is integrated into an order picking cart. This allows order pickers to pick products and place them directly into the cart.
This enables the picking of multiple orders simultaneously, also known as multi-order picking. By combining multiple orders on one route, order pickers can work more efficiently and cover less distance.

We are now picking 16 orders
during one picking round
A few years ago, Van Rooijen successfully implemented their WMS, which included multi-order picking functionality. Previously, they used an order picking cart that allowed them to collect 6 orders at a time. However, due to its error-prone nature and the desire to pick even more orders, they transitioned to pick to light carts.
The benefits for Van Rooijen
Thanks to the recent integration of carts with pick to light, Van Rooijen has achieved significant benefits:
- 16 orders per picking round
- Improved productivity
- Repositioning of employees within the organization
