What Is the MSR Pick to Light System?
The MSR Pick to Light System is an advanced light-directed order picking solution designed to transform traditional manual picking into a high-speed, highly accurate, labor-efficient process. Instead of relying on paper lists or handheld scanners, this system uses illuminated displays and real-time visual cues to guide warehouse operators to the exact location and quantity of items to pick, significantly reducing errors and increasing throughput.
MSR’s system is ideal for warehouses, distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment hubs, and production lines that need to process high-volume orders with peak accuracy and minimal workforce training time.
How MSR Pick to Light Works
The MSR Pick to Light System combines intuitive hardware and real-time software integration to streamline order fulfillment:
Order Initiation – Once an order is released from the Warehouse Management System (WMS) or intralogistics platform, lights on designated pick locations activate.
Visual Guidance – Bright LED indicators at each shelf or rack location guide pickers to the exact SKU, while numeric displays show the quantity required.
Confirm Picks – Pickers confirm each pick by pressing a button, turning off the light and signaling completion.
Real-Time Updates – Each action is logged instantly to your inventory system, improving accuracy and productivity.
This simple yet powerful workflow removes the guesswork from picking, enabling operators to work faster and with fewer mistakes.
