Everything You Need to Know About Wireless Light Tags and Pick-to-Light Solutions

In today’s fast-paced pharmaceutical, e-commerce, and supply chain industry, efficiency and accuracy are critical to success. Among the innovative tools designed to optimize operations is the Wireless Light Tag—a game-changing technology revolutionizing inventory management and order fulfillment. Often referred to as a Wireless Pick-to-Light Solution, this system helps businesses achieve unparalleled accuracy and efficiency. But what exactly is a Wireless Light Tag, and how does it work? Let’s dive in.

What is a Wireless Light Tag?

A Wireless Light Tag is a compact, battery-powered system that integrates advanced wireless communication and LED light guidance technology. Designed to enhance inventory and warehouse operations, these tags attach to storage bins, racks, or individual items to provide real-time visual cues. This technology enables workers to quickly and accurately locate, pick, and manage inventory, streamlining workflows and reducing errors.

Key Features of Wireless Light Tags

Wireless Light Tags come equipped with features that make them essential in modern warehouses and distribution centers:

Real-Time Visual Guidance
Using LED lights, these devices direct workers to the exact location of items, minimizing search time and errors. This feature is especially valuable for high-volume picking operations and inventory replenishment.
Wireless Communication
Wireless Light Tags connect seamlessly with warehouse management systems (WMS) via wireless protocols, ensuring accurate and up-to-date inventory tracking.
Energy Efficiency
Powered by ultra-low-power technology, Wireless Light Tags offer extended battery life and rechargeable, reducing operational costs and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Ease of Reuse
When inventory is depleted, the system automatically unbinds the tag and prompts workers to retrieve it for reuse, promoting cost efficiency and sustainability.

How Wireless Light Tags Improve Warehouse Operations

Wireless Light Tags go beyond basic tools—they are transformative for several key areas:

Enhanced Picking Accuracy
By visually guiding workers to the correct items, Wireless Light Tags significantly reduce picking errors and improve order fulfillment accuracy.
Faster Inventory Turnover
LED light signals in Wireless Light Tags help prioritize items nearing expiration, optimizing stock rotation and minimizing waste. This feature is crucial for industries like retail and pharmaceuticals.
Seamless Integration
Wireless Light Tags are compatible with most WMS platforms, offering a scalable solution for businesses looking to improve operational efficiency.
Ergonomic Benefits
Eliminating reliance on handheld devices or paper-based systems, Wireless Light Tags simplify workflows and reduce physical strain on workers.

How a 59-Year-Old Delivery Driver Increased Deliveries by 44%

December 6, 2024

Last-mile delivery is demanding, especially for a 59-year-old driver working for a DSP under Amazon. For 5 years, he struggled to meet his daily target of 300 packages, averaging just 250 deliveries despite his hard work. Supervisors often had to assign Rescuers to help him finish, labeling his performance as "below average." When I asked if he could deliver 500-600 packages daily , he responded: “Absolutely not! Impossible!”

Why Amazon’s VAPR Isn’t The Perfect Solution for Package Delivery Retrieval

November 6, 2024

On October 9, 2024, Amazon finally released its Vision Assisted Package Retrieval (VAPR) solution that had been in development for the past few years. VAPR is intended to address a problem that has bedeviled the last-mile delivery industry: drivers searching and hunting for the correct package in the cargo van for a customer delivery. VAPR replaces the need for manual scanning of bar codes to identify the right customer package in the van. When the cargo van arrives at a delivery location, VAPR will automatically project a green “O” on all packages that will be delivered at that stop and a red “X” on all other packages. Through audio and visual cues, VAPR guides the driver to select the right package before he or she needs to enter the cargo area. VAPR uses Amazon’s special computer vision system for automatic bar code reading in conjunction with a camera and light projectors to illuminate the van interior. The VAPR is also integrated into the van’s navigation system.
