With the booming logistics industry, warehouse management is facing unprecedented challenges. Rapidly growing material volumes and increasingly complex warehousing needs make warehouse management increasingly challenging. Finding materials has become more time-consuming and difficult, and the traditional way of preparing materials is not only labor-intensive and cost-intensive, but also inefficient. In addition, the unclear storage location of materials leads to frequent material loss, and the problems of multiple, less and wrong materials occur frequently, and the existing system also shows obvious deficiencies in data synchronization and instant alarms.
In response to these increasingly serious problems, the RockPlus PTL intelligent pick-to-light system came into being, which is an important part of the RockPlus MOM manufacturing operation management platform. PTL, or Pick to Light, has brought an important revolution to warehouse and logistics management through the efficient combination of industrial software and intelligent hardware. Its core function is to indicate the content of the operation task through the signal light, supplemented by the display screen, so that the operator can quickly and accurately locate the location of the goods. After completing the task, a simple tap of the signal light button can notify the completion of the system operation, which greatly reduces the probability of material error and effectively improves the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse management. This technology has a wide range of applications, covering many industries such as auto parts, electronic assembly, semiconductors, machining, and new energy lithium batteries.
The highlight of RockPlus PTL is the perfect combination of hardware and software. The software part is responsible for complex logic operations and process control. When the production line needs materials, the system will intelligently calculate the materials required in the short term according to the work order plan and the current production efficiency, and generate a calling task. The task will be pushed to the warehouse workstation computer or PDA at a regular time, and the system will guide the light to guide the reclaiming process after the warehouse operator starts the material issuance. Each time a material is obtained, after confirming the key operation, the indicator light goes out, the material is out of the warehouse, and the system automatically enters the prompt of the next material. For large warehouses, the system is also equipped with a top lighthouse and an electronic signage to make material positioning faster, and display the progress of material preparation tasks, logistics and distribution status, as well as inventory and personnel efficiency information in real time.
In terms of hardware, the system consists of a set of electronic tags and edge boxes, which are installed on shelves. These transponders use 2-wire carrier communication technology to efficiently combine power supply and communication into one, while using industry-leading installation methods to simplify implementation. In addition, in order to adapt to different application scenarios, we provide various types of electronic labels, including 6-digit digital tube labels, 4-digit digital tube labels, 2-inch LCD labels, OLED labels, etc., to meet the needs of different occasions.
The RockPlus PTL pick-to-light system not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of warehousing logistics, but also brings a qualitative leap forward to multiple industries through its advanced software and hardware design. In this era of efficiency and intelligence, RockPlus PTL is undoubtedly the ideal choice for warehouse logistics management.
