Matthews highlights LP Picking Light Sled

With the goal of optimizing e-commerce and omni-channel warehousing operations, Lightning Pick (Booth 3903c), a Matthews Automation Solutions brand, is highlighting its advanced light-directed picking sled.

The LP Light Sled combines the benefits of pick-to-cart, pick-to-conveyor, pick-to-light and put-to-light order fulfillment methodologies to maximize efficiency and accuracy in cluster picking of multiple orders simultaneously. The horizontal sled design enables several order cartons to be grouped together and travel by conveyor throughout the distribution center, stopping at each storage zone that contains items required by the orders on the sled.

“This product can handle everything from small batches and single orders to huge, half-a-million SKU shipments daily,” said Paul Jensen, president. Also featured in the company’s booth was the LP Cart line of mobile picking carts, which automate batch picking for fulfillment of multiple, one- to two-line orders during a single pass through the warehouse.
