- Picker will pick all the items as well confirmed the same by pressing confirm button on PTL device
- Once all the picks for an order are completed in one station, the order is passed to the next one that also contains items needed
- Substantial reduction in Picking 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
- Lesser travelling time for each worker
