SDI’s Pack to Light (Put To Light) solution has become the clear choice of companies distributing merchandise to retail stores. When used for flow through processing, Pack to Light also provides a Cross Docking option for full case distributions. In a typical Pack to Light operation, each outbound store location contains a Light Display Module comprised of a digital display, to indicate the number of units to be packed or put, and push buttons for confirmations and exception handling. As cases of merchandise are introduced into the pack aisles, an operator scans the inbound case and the Light Display Modules illuminate with the required quantity at the corresponding store locations.
