All paperless picking solutions can be integrated into one software platform using PickDirector 3.0. A configurable module within the software architecture directs and manages each picking solution type. Users can operate with one picking type or operate multiple picking technologies simultaneously in the same operation. Included with the system is an order management module that offers expanded functionality such as wave processing, batching optimization, and the ability to sort orders by priority, destination, customer and other variables. The software supports label printing, order editing, workload analysis and dynamic zone balancing.

Pick-to-light system version 1.2 simplifies manpower planning by analyzing the picking requirements of the orders in the system and determining a line configuration that balances the workload among all available pickers. It compares the current pick requirements against a set of historical pick rates or manually entered pick rates to determine the optimum line configuration. The system also analyzes the workload based on the number of pickers to be used and the time permitted to pick the orders. Users can then accept the recommended line configuration or they can edit this configuration manually to suit their needs.

Discreet order picking, batch picking and cluster picking can all be done by the DirectPick pick-to-light system. Bay controller lights define zone boundaries by color, so there is never any confusion about where a picker's zone begins and ends. For fast moving items, the system indicates the items to pick by flashing its beacon and displaying the quantity to pick on the digital display. For slower moving items, beacons are used together with a bay controller. The flashing beacon locates the item within the bay to pick, while the bay controller displays the quantity to pick.
