SAFELOG Picking systems – simply clear, clearly simple

Efficient and error-free picking is one of the core strengths of SAFELOG’s intralogistics solutions. Our first patent was sensor monitoring for picking processes. The new generation of our pick-by-light and put-to-light technology is especially suited to smaller picking processes. It shows the worker the correct pick or put position. In this way SAFELOG establishes error-free processes based on the principle of Poka-Yoke.

The SAFELOG IntelliCart smart picking cart uses signal technology to enable efficient multi-order picking processes. It is used in complex picking applications with high throughput and for the simultaneous implementation of a range of sub-processes. It enables the parallel processing of up to 40 orders.

The pick-by-light / put-to-light system ensures maximum picking performance while actively avoiding picking errors. In combination with a SAFELOG AGV it provides ergonomic relief for the worker and by using movement automation it speeds up processes by around 7 percent.

SAFELOG’s IntelliPick control software monitors all picking operations and interfaces with the warehouse management or ERP system. This means the software can update warehouse stocks in real time. It also makes it easier to create picking batches and strategies. An additional benefit is that orders can be amended during the process.

Your advantages with SAFELOG picking systems:

  • Needs-based order picking solutions
  • Efficient error prevention system using patented pick-by-light technology
  • Can be flexibly expanded

INTRALOGISTIC made by SAFELOG –
Integrated solutions from A to Z

The efficiency of a solution is based on the perfect interaction of its individual components. Before developing an overall concept for intralogistical processes, a comprehensive review of the status quo is therefore necessary. Based on this, all further steps can be planned. For this reason, SAFELOG carries out process-specific analyses of your processes to determine the potential for optimization. With an integrated approach that is specifically geared to your needs, we then develop a well-thought-out integrated solution. Our 25 years of intralogistics experience in combination with SAFELOG picking systems, AGVs and software products results in an integrated concept tailored to the customer’s specific needs.

Analysis & Concept

An on-site appointment is the first step towards a customized intralogistics system. SAFELOG documents all the process steps and analyses the overall workflow to determine the potential for improvement. Based on this information, SAFELOG develops a tailor-made order picking concept.

Consultation & Planning

The results of the analysis are the foundation for the next steps. SAFELOG provides advice about suitable hardware and software and drafts an appropriate concept. The integration of the proposed SAFELOG components into existing ERP, production control or warehouse management systems is also taken into account. The goal is a well-thought-out integrated solution based on your needs.

SAFELOG Pick-by-Light / Put-to-Light

The best errors are those that are avoided. The patented SAFELOG pick-by-light / put-to-light technology therefore appeals to the strongest human sense – visual perception. The goal is a consistent zero-error strategy.

In accordance with the poka-yoke principle for preventing errors, the system immediately points out an error during order processing. Errors must be corrected to continue the picking process. For visualization, SAFELOG uses signal lamps and acknowledgement buttons in the form of ASi-5 compartment displays and ASi-5 eTag display modules.

The entire order procedure is displayed on an ASi-5 / ASi-3 MiniMaster Touch Display with 7″ monitor. A two-core profile cable is used for data transfer and power supply and serves as a connection to the control system. The SAFELOG software is also the interface to warehouse management or ERP systems. Among other things, this provides real-time stock reconciliation.

SAFELOG Pick Systems individual components

Intralogistical processes and picking tasks involve multifaceted and constantly changing requirements along the supply chain. The individual components with ASi-5 technology in our picking system provide the ideal basis for flexible implementation in ever-changing operating conditions. The ASi-5 compartment display and ASi-5 eTag display module as well as the ASi-5/ASi-3 MiniMaster touch display can be freely combined. This allows us to create customised solutions adapted your needs. It also means that existing systems can be modified or expanded at any time.

Pick lamps ASi-5 compartment display & ASi-5 eTag display module

The primary focus of SAFELOG Picklamps ASi-5 Shelf Display & ASi-5 eTag Display Module is the organization, management and enhancement of intralogistic processes. Each shelf is equipped with a display module or compartment display. After starting the picking process on the MiniMaster touch display, the compartment displays for the articles to be picked are activated.

Depending on the model, each pick lamp has two or four eye-catching seven-color LED lights and a sensor or acknowledgement button. The ASi-5 eTag module is equipped with a 2.9″ e-ink display screen (pixel resolution 296 x 128). This displays product and compartment information or QR codes. After picking or putting the required quantity, the worker confirms it with the sensor or the acknowledgement button. The inventory is updated in real time. The components are mounted quickly and easily with a wireless click system using two-core ASi profile cable.

SAFELOG IntelliCart –
High performance multi-order picking

The SAFELOG IntelliCart takes multi-order picking processes to a new level. The smart picking cart is designed for maximum picking performance and efficiency, with up to 600 picks per hour and worker.

It is equipped with its own control software, which forms the interface to other SAFELOG products, to peripheral systems and to warehouse management / or ERP systems. By using the IntelliCart, nothing needs to be installed on the racking, all display components are part of the order picking trolley.

The software manages up to 40 different orders in parallel. The display for each pick is provided by an LED light strip as well as the MiniMaster display. A sensor monitors correct compartment access, so that the storage compartment is only displayed by means of Put to Light if it is correctly picked.
In addition to sensor monitoring, barcode scanners or push-buttons can be used for confirmation.

The connected AGV then pulls the IntelliCart to the next storage compartment. The picking cart can also be moved manually. After all of the orders have been successfully processed, the system automatically informs the worker and prompts their return to the base.
