Part Pick Verification for Large Bins
Application: Indicate pick order and automatically verify pick
Challenges: Error-proof a large bin
Solution: EZ-LIGHT PVD Pick-to-Light Sensor
Benefits: Bright indication, reliable sensing of operators hand
To direct the worker to the correct large bin and to automatically verify the pick
Description
To reduce the risk of error in an assembly operation, a one-piece EZ-LIGHT PVD pick-to-light sensor is placed on the top rail of a shelf, looking down on the shelf opening. The PVD is interfaced with a process controller that is programmed to illuminate the PVD on the bin to pick.
After the PVD detects that the assembler's hand has entered and left the bin, the controller signals the PVD on the next bin to pick.
