- Substantial reduction in kitting times by increasing the Pick rates substantially
- Limited skill training of picker as operator is guided by automated light guided software
- Lesser scope of error due to guidance provided by light guided software
- Full proof mechanism as automated troubleshooting for any wrong pick up or error in quantity to be picked
