Digitisation of live storage racking with visual guidance technology

Digitise flow racks with pick-to-light and put-to-light for maximum efficiency

Increase your picking performance by up to 15% with digital flow racks from BITO. Pick-to-light and put-to-light technologies ensure precise, visual guidance and error-free FIFO processes – without any need for racking reconfiguration thanks to wireless smart labelling.

What is

Digitise your flow racks by adding smart labels to existing racking systems for easy visual process control. Digital displays and multi-coloured LED signals show real-time product position and stock levels, making it easier to choose the right product. With suitable third-party devices, rocker switches can be integrated for automated reordering. This means you always have accurate information about the bins and containers in your flow racks which enables you to manage your processes way more efficiently.

Intelligent material storage systems are key to modern intralogistics

  • They help to keep track of where goods are stored and what their stock level status is.
  • Benefit from automated FIFO and FEFO control for optimum stock rotation.
  • Real-time information about work orders and material modifications without paperwork
  • Sensor-based stock level detection with automatic replenishment function
  • Real-time feedback via LED signals

Discover benefits

Product features and benefits in brief

Quantifiable efficiency gains and process optimisation in warehousing and production

100% transparency

Real-time overview of all stocks and material movements. Every item removed and stored is automatically recorded and documented.

15% more productivity

Significant performance improvement through optimised processes close to the point of use. Employees work faster and with fewer errors thanks to clear visual guidance.

70% less time spent on localising products

Reduced search and travel times thanks to LED signals and digital displays. Products are found immediately and retrieved correctly.

Zero paperwork in the process

No paper labels or manual lists whatsoever. Updates are made digitally and automatically at all storage locations.

Error rate below 0.1 per cent

Picking errors are minimised thanks to clear visual signals. Mix-ups are virtually impossible.

ROI in less than 12 months

Fast amortisation through savings in terms of personnel, materials and error prevention. The investment pays for itself in the first year.

Real-time feedback via LED signals

LED signals deliver instant, real-time feedback, allowing to control every pick without delay.

How does visual guidance in live storage applications work?

To digitise flow racks, wireless smart labels are fitted to existing racking systems. These smart displays communicate wirelessly with the central LNC Picking software and continuously receive up-to-date information on stock levels, orders and processes.

Smart labels feature E-Ink displays that permanently show product information with multi-coloured LEDs for visual guidance. During order picking, the relevant labels light up and display the quantity to be picked right at the product storage position. Sensors automatically detect stock levels and trigger reorders when stock levels fall below defined a minimum threshold.

Smart labels for flow racks – digital picking with Low Noise Converter (LNC) technology

  • Intelligent labels with E-Ink displays and 7-colour LEDs make process visualisation easy.
  • LNC Picking Software enables central control and management of all storage positions
  • Wireless communication without cabling allows easy retrofitting
  • Sensors automatically control stock levels and trigger replenishment orders
  • Interfaces to WMS and ERP systems ensure seamless integration

Where is digitised flow storage used?

Digitising live storage racking optimises stock-keeping, logistics and manufacturing processes across all industries

Warehousing and order picking

Optimal support for order pickers thanks to dynamically displayed storage positions. FIFO and FEFO principles are automatically maintained, preventing errors caused by incorrect picking sequences.

Logistics and shipping

Digital labels are replacin paper labels and greatly simplify search processes. Goods-to-person processes are visualised and travel times optimised.

Manufacturing and assembly

Component status information is available right at the point of use. Remaining times, lockout statuses, and priorities are displayed to keep production running smoothly.

Wholesale and retail trade and distribution

Clear marking of loading and unloading zones facilitates cross-docking operations. Easier navigation and shorter training periods for new employees.

Your added value

Digitising your flow racks turns static storage systems into smart, connected units. The result is maximum transparency across all material flows while at the same time reducing manual processes. Going paperless not only saves on consumables, but also speeds up updates. Intuitive visual guidance takes the pressure off employees, letting them focus on value-adding activities.

  • Processes become more sustainable by ditching paper and printer supplies
  • Scalable solution that grows with your requirements
  • Shorter training periods thanks to intuitive user guidance
  • Improved occupational safety through clear visual signals
