WIRELESS PICK-TO-LIGHT
SYSTEM (PTL)
Smart guided picking for faster, error-free material handling. Eliminating complex cabling in dynamic sorting shelves and assembly lines using battery-powered display nodes, MQTT network protocols, and real-time dashboard controls.
Product Overview
The **Induz AI Wireless Pick-to-Light System** eliminates complex wiring and reduces installation time, making it easy to expand and relocate racks as needed.
By integrating stable wireless communication and real-time dashboard connectivity, the system ensures accurate picking, minimal downtime, and low maintenance overheads. The Central Dashboard communicates with the wireless base controller (gateway) using the lightweight **MQTT protocol**, which then broadcasts pick signals wirelessly to individual battery-powered shelf modules.
Key Capabilities
