Pick-by-Light System – Paperless, Error-Free Order Picking

The Pick-by-Light Solution from BOWE INTRALOGISTICS replaces traditional paper picking lists with intelligent light-guided technology, enabling faster, more accurate order fulfillment on the warehouse floor.

How it works: A digital display mounted on the storage shelf shows the picker exactly which item to take and in what quantity. Once the pick is confirmed by pressing a button on the display, the action is instantly recorded and forwarded to the connected Inventory Management or Warehouse Management System (WMS) — keeping stock data accurate in real time.

Key benefits:

• Paperless picking — eliminates printed lists and manual data entry

• Error reduction — light signals guide pickers precisely, minimizing mis-picks

• Higher picking rates — faster, more efficient workflows compared to paper-based processes

• Put-to-Light compatible — the system works in reverse too: RFID or barcode scanning identifies items, and light signals show where to place them

• Smart confirmation — optional rack sensors automate the confirmation step, removing the need to press a button manually

• Seamless WMS/WCS integration — fully connected to BOWE IQ software for real-time inventory transparency

Suitable for e-commerce fulfillment, distribution centers, retail warehousing, and manufacturing supply. Part of BOWE INTRALOGISTICS' full picking portfolio alongside Pick-by-Scan and Pick-by-Voice systems.
