Pick by Light systems in comparison and why NIMMSTA is different

Written by Teresa | 13. November 2024

 

Efficiency and precision are crucial in intralogistics. Pick-by-light systems, which provide visual signals for fast product removal, have proven to be valuable tools. Studies show that such systems can reduce picking errors by up to 70 % and increase productivity by up to 50 %.* But not all pick-by-light solutions are the same: conventional systems and NIMMSTA's innovative solution differ considerably.

The challenges of conventional pick-by-light systems

Although traditional pick-by-light systems are effective, they come with a number of hurdles. One of the biggest challenges is the complex installation. Most traditional systems require cabling and extensive hardware installations, which not only means time and labor costs, but also high investments. In environments where flexibility and mobility are crucial, cabling can be an obstacle and limit adaptability.

Disadvantages of conventional systems summarized:

  • Complex cabling and installation
  • Completely new shelves if necessary
  • High initial investment
  • Low flexibility when adapting to new processes

The NIMMSTA solution: wireless and flexible pick-by-light system


The NIMMSTA pick-by-light system offers an innovative alternative to traditional approaches. The so-calledlight tags completely eliminate the need for complex cabling. The light tags are attached directly to the storage locations and communicate wirelessly with the smart watch, enabling fast and cost-efficient implementation.

 

Advantages of the NIMMSTA solution:

  • Wireless and flexible: the Light Tags can be installed without wiring and can be quickly customized.
  • Lower costs and quick start: The simple installation of the light tags results in lower initial costs and shorter implementation times.
  • Efficiency and safety: Employees can rely on the visual guidance of the light tags while having both hands free. This leads to a reduction in the error rate to almost zero and an increase in productivity of up to 50%.

Conclusion: Why NIMMSTA is redefining the pick-by-light standard

In summary, the NIMMSTA solution offers an innovative and economical alternative to traditional pick-by-light systems. The wireless and flexible application of the light tags and the user-friendly Smart Watch enable companies to transform their intralogistics with minimal effort. The system simplifies installation while offering maximum efficiency and error reduction - a real game changer for companies looking to future-proof their intralogistics processes.

NIMMSTA technology not only makes intralogistics simpler, it also makes it smarter. Companies that want to benefit from the advantages of wireless, flexible systems will find that the NIMMSTA solution provides ideal support for faster and error-free product removal.
