Error proofing for industrial assembly and picking applications

PICK TO LIGHT STARTER KIT

Pick to Light is a light-directed picking technology that increases productivity and efficiency in picking, putting, sorting and assembly operations.

We have put together a standard Pick to Light kit that allows you to get started with a smaller project or to test the technology on a pilot project before scaling up.

QUICK INSTALLATION AND TRAINING

Our starter kits include all the hardware and software you need to get started with minimum setup and installation time. The pick to light hardware was designed to be easy to mount and reconfigure. The light modules snap into heavy-duty, extruded aluminium open channels secured to existing racks or shelves.

Sorion’s Sextans software is used to configure and guide the picking the process. The processes are set up in an intuitive way so that you are ready to go in just a short time.

The operation of the system is very intuitive and speeds up training time of new employees.

FEATURES

  • Easy to mount and reconfigure
  • Ergonomic and robust light modules
  • Integration with guided assembly systems and assembly jigs
  • Scalable and flexible

System components

PICK TO LIGHT MODULES

The starter kit contains 10 Standard Pick to Light Modules already connected to the AI cable and aluminium ducting

The confirmation button on the modules is available in a seven colour option. This opens up a variety of additional process quality improvements by using different light colour assignments.

Light module dimensions: 76mm×37mm×20.5mm


SMALL ETHERNET CONTROLLER

  • To be connected under Ethernet.
  • The unit can control up to 48 light modules.
  • Dimensions: 204mm×115mm×47mm


PICK TO LIGHT SOFTWARE

Driven by Sorion’s pick-to-light control engine, the system interfaces with the core Sextans-RT software, allowing easy configuration.

This enables full integration with a guided assembly system, with assembly jigs and fixtures and web-based Orion traceability and reporting.

Sorion’s software informs and records the part reference, which bin the part is in, the quantities that need picking for each build variant and a part description.


7″ ePanel PC

The unit provides a high-resolution 7” touchscreen interface and integrated UPS.
The PC can be VESA mounted and provides additional accessory mounting points.

  • Windows 10 installed
  • Pick to Light software installed
  • Integrated UPS
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 32 GB internal memory


POWER AND COMMUNICATION

AI-Net provides both power and communications to the modules in runs of twin core flat form cable held within a unique aluminium extrusion that also locates the pick to light modules.
