New PicRite® Plus Light Directed Picking System Announced by Cape Systems
New Dimension in Light Directed Picking
CHICAGO, Jan. 9 - CAPE Systems Group, Inc., (BULLETIN BOARD: CYSG) a leading provider of software technology for packaging design, RFID asset tracking, pallet optimization, inventory and warehouse management, supply chain execution and order fulfillment, today announced the release of its new state-of-the-art light directed picking system, PicRite(R) Plus from its Booth #4856 at ProMat 2007, the nation's largest exhibition of material handling and logistics equipment, systems and technologies sponsored by the Material Handling Industry of America.
CAPE's PicRite(R) Plus product contains a new level of functionality, reliability and ease of use. New features include modules that snap cleanly into position in the self-sealing track that eliminates common problems found in other track systems such as dirt/dust accumulation and corrosion.
The tremendous flexibility of the PicRite(R) Plus light modules allow them to be used in all types of configurations. Typically a single module is located at each pick location, although a single module can easily support two locations (up/down or left/right) using the multi-color LEDs/buttons as well as the upper and lower light bars. The four multi-color LEDs/buttons allow one picker to simultaneously pick 2, 3 or 4 orders or for 2, 3, or 4 pickers to pick simultaneously in the same area. The PicRite(R) Plus modules can support simultaneous piece/pack picking as well as CAPE's unique lot display features.
Productivity Displays: For area status displays, three or more modules may be joined to display important system messages such as productivity information. In addition to the light modules themselves, the PicRite(R) Plus Systems features a high-speed communications backbone. Intelligent light controllers can be strategically located throughout the system to control not only a pick line, but they can be used to control groups of bays or each bay individually if desired. The intelligent controllers are provided in a ruggedized housing and can operate in extreme environments. To fully utilize the available functionality, the light modules are controlled by the PicRite(R) Plus system software that includes all of the features a picking system requires. The PicRite(R) Plus system operates on the latest Microsoft Windows platforms.
"We believe that PicRite(R) Plus is quite simply the best of breed in its class and is the result of over 20 years of experience and innovation in light directed picking. In particular, the system's robustness makes it suitable for the most demanding, rugged environments. The ability to offer multi pick and multi order pick module applications, combined with real time productivity displays, provides extraordinary operational flexibility and control to a variety of users. The entire system operates on a high speed communications backbone, with intelligent controllers strategically located throughout the system to provide various control features," comments David Sasson, CAPE's COO.
CAPE is formally exhibiting the new PicRite(R) Plus pick-to-light technology this week at ProMat 2007, the largest supply chain, logistics, and material handling event in North America.
