Pick-by-Light as a flexible assistance system for order picking

News 04/08/2026: Modern Pick-by-Light systems from CAPTRON reduce picking errors by up to 95% and increase picking speed by up to 50%. Whether stationary LED strip lights or the mobile ISAC spotlight, our solutions adapt flexibly to any warehouse size and structure.

Why Pick-by-Light pays off for any warehouse today

Growing product variety, labor shortages, and rising customer expectations for speed and accuracy are putting warehouses under pressure. At the same time, many companies hesitate to take the step toward automation, worried about high costs, lack of flexibility, or complex implementation. CAPTRON's Pick-by-Light systems put these concerns to rest: hardware, software, sensors, and integration all come from a single source, simplifying planning and reducing implementation to just a few months.

LED strip lights can be installed on shelving step by step, allowing warehouses to scale gradually without large upfront investments. For particularly dynamic environments, CAPTRON offers ISAC, a unique mobile concept: a movable LED spotlight on the picking cart replaces fixed strips and uses computer vision technology along with 2D navigation. This makes ISAC ideal for frequently changing warehouse layouts, temporary zones, or seasonal peaks.
