Put to Light System

Put to Light Warehouse Automation

Put to Light is ideal for high-volume e‑commerce, multi-sku sorting and store replenishment where one batch of picked items needs to be distributed to many orders or destinations. Instead of searching for each order one by one, operators scan a tote and lights instantly indicate which locations should receive the items. With Pixcels Themes, your Put to Light solution is powered by robust backend software, IoT controllers and real-time dashboards that are customised to your warehouse strategy.

Our system orchestrates the flow from inbound totes to destination slots, making sure every unit is accounted for. We build the allocation logic, user interfaces and integration layer so that orders, inventory and shipment data stay perfectly in sync. Operators simply follow the lights, while supervisors track utilisation, throughput and order ageing in real time. The result is faster consolidation, fewer mistakes and a predictable shipping schedule even on peak days.

Typical Put to Light use cases

• Batch picking and order sorting – Pick items in bulk and use Put to Light to distribute them to individual customer orders.
• Store / franchise replenishment – Quickly split inventory by store based on planograms and demand, improving on‑shelf availability.
• Cross-docking and hub operations – Direct parcels or cartons to the right route or destination with minimal manual checking.
• Returns processing – Sort returned items into inspection, refurbishment or put‑away locations using guided lights.

How Pixcels Themes adds value

Because we are a software + IoT engineering company, we don’t just install lights – we design the entire digital workflow around them.

• Configurable business rules – Define how orders should be grouped, prioritised and assigned to locations without changing code every time.
• User-friendly UIs – Web and mobile interfaces for supervisors and floor leads to monitor zones, start batches and handle exceptions.
• Real-time exception handling – Shortages, damages and substitutions are captured in the system immediately and reflected back to WMS / ERP.
• Scalable, modular architecture – Start with a few racks or chutes and expand to more zones, warehouses or countries when you are ready.

Who benefits the most from Put to Light

Put to Light is especially powerful when you manage a high number of orders with overlapping SKUs. We typically see strong impact in:

• D2C and marketplace sellers – Consolidating multi‑line orders from the same batch of picked inventory.
• Omni‑channel retailers – Serving store replenishment, click‑and‑collect and online orders from a single pool.
• 3PL and fulfilment providers – Handling many small clients where accuracy and transparency are key to long‑term contracts.
• Distribution hubs – Sorting parcels and cartons into routes, zones or customers with minimal manual checking.

End‑to‑end implementation journey

We manage Put to Light as a complete project – from first workshop to stabilised operation:

• Process mapping – Understanding your inbound, picking and outbound flows so Put to Light fits naturally into the existing operation.
• System architecture – Choosing the right combination of controllers, light modules, network and software components.
• Integration development – Building stable interfaces with your WMS, ERP, TMS or custom tools.
• Training & change management – Simple, visual training for operators and clear SOPs for supervisors to manage exceptions.
• Continuous improvement – Using live data from the floor and your feedback on LinkedIn/operations to refine rules, dashboards and reports.
