Pick to Light Warehouse Automation
Pick to Light is one of the fastest and most accurate order picking technologies for modern warehouses.
By guiding operators with light indicators and digital displays at each picking location, you remove
confusion on the floor, reduce walking time and achieve near zero-picking errors. At Pixcels Themes, we
combine custom software development, IoT hardware integration and
real-time data analytics to deliver end-to-end Pick to Light solutions tailored to your warehouse layout
and business rules.
Our systems connect seamlessly with your existing WMS / ERP or custom applications. Orders are pushed to
the Pick to Light controller, lights glow at the right locations, and operators simply confirm picks with
a single tap or scan. Every action is tracked in real time, giving supervisors complete visibility of
productivity, bottlenecks and SLA performance. Whether you are handling e‑commerce, retail distribution
or 3PL operations, we design the workflow so your floor team can work faster with less training and
higher accuracy.
How our Pick to Light solution works
Because we are both a software development company and an IoT solution
partner, we deliver the full stack – from picking logic and dashboards to on‑field devices.
- Smart order allocation – Orders are grouped and routed to zones and lanes to minimise
walk distance and improve throughput.
- Light-guided picking – LEDs and numeric displays show the exact bin and quantity to
pick, reducing operator decision-making time.
- One-touch confirmation – Operators confirm picks via buttons, scanners or touch
inputs, and the system immediately updates inventory and order status.
- Real-time dashboards – Supervisors view pick rates, zone performance and error trends
through intuitive web dashboards and reports.
- Flexible integrations – REST APIs, file-based integration or direct database
connectors to align with your existing IT ecosystem.
Business outcomes you can expect
Pick to Light is not just a gadget on the rack – it is a measurable business upgrade when implemented
correctly. Our implementations focus on:
- Higher picking speed – Operators follow lights instead of paper lists or handheld
devices, cutting decision time on every pick.
- Reduced errors and returns – Clear visual guidance and confirmation significantly
reduce wrong-item and wrong-quantity issues.
- Lower training time – New staff can become productive in hours instead of weeks
because the system is self-guiding.
- Better space utilisation – Our software helps you design zones and locations that fit
your SKU profile and order patterns.
- Data‑driven decisions – Every pick generates data, helping you continuously optimise
shifts, layouts and inventory strategies.
Industries & warehouse types we work with
Every warehouse has different realities on the ground – SKU mix, order profiles, team size and
infrastructure. We adapt the Pick to Light design so it fits how you really operate.
- E‑commerce fulfilment centres – High‑sku, high‑order environments where speed and
accuracy directly impact customer ratings and return rates.
- Retail & fashion distribution – Multi‑channel operations supplying stores, franchises
and online orders from the same inventory pool.
- 3PL / contract logistics – Flexible setups that can be reconfigured quickly as your
client portfolio and SLAs change.
- Spare parts & industrial supplies – Complex SKU catalogues where mis‑picks are
expensive and hard to detect later in the chain.
Our implementation approach
From your LinkedIn journey to the warehouse floor, we follow a practical and collaborative approach to
deploying Pick to Light:
- 1. Discovery & diagnostics – We analyse current picking methods, KPIs, layout and IT
landscape to identify the right zones for Pick to Light.
- 2. Solution design – We design zones, device layout, workflows and integration
interfaces with WMS / ERP or custom software.
- 3. Pilot deployment – We start with a controlled pilot, measure throughput, accuracy
and user feedback, and fine‑tune the logic.
- 4. Scale‑up & optimisation – After a successful pilot, we roll out to more zones and
shifts, adding analytics and automation rules as needed.
- 5. Long‑term partnership – We stay with you post go‑live with support, enhancements
and new features as your warehouse grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about our Pick to Light warehouse automation solutions.
-
Can Pick to Light work with my existing WMS / ERP?
Yes. We design our Pick to Light platform to sit on top of your existing
IT systems. Our team builds custom integrations using APIs, database connections or
file-based exchange, depending on how your current WMS / ERP is set up. Because we are a
software-first company, we adapt the solution to your technology stack instead of forcing
you to change it.
-
Do you also supply the hardware or only the software?
We deliver complete IoT-based solutions. That includes the controller,
light modules, buttons, sensors and gateways along with the application software and
dashboards. We work with reliable hardware partners and customise the firmware and
communication protocols so that everything works as one system.
-
Is Pick to Light suitable for small and mid-size warehouses?
Absolutely. We design scalable architectures where you can start with a
single zone or a few hundred locations and expand later. Our software is modular, so you
can begin with essential features and add advanced analytics, multi-warehouse support and
integrations as your operations grow.
-
How do you support implementation and after‑go‑live?
Our team helps you from concept and layout design to pilot and full
deployment. We provide on-site or remote support for installation, operator training and
go‑live. Post implementation, we offer ongoing AMC, monitoring and feature enhancements so
your Pick to Light system stays aligned with your business.
