iPICK
is a light directed order fulfillment pick or put away
system (product BIN locations with electronic displays that
indicate what designated number of units to pick or put
away) generally utilized for less-than-case (broken case)
item selections (split
case fulfillment - Material Handling Institute @ Charlotte,
NC ). Using light directed
picking reduces picking time about 38 to 50% versus pick
from paper invoices. Accuracy is dramatically improved
often times up to 98-99%! iPICK
solutions help distribution and manufacturing quickly and
accurately meet order or kitting requirements with reduced
setup and order completions saving labor and money
efficiently!
iPICK
display-based pick and put to light system is one of the
fastest, most efficient picking solutions available today!
DPS has years of experience in design and production of pick
systems as this is a 4th generation design. A graphical LCD
pick module with bright pick beacon illuminating the pick
BIN location guides the operator’s activity at the BIN
location. The graphical display instructs pickers for bulk
and loose picking from same location (i.e.: magazine bundles
and loose copies pulled from same BIN location), plus
instructs operator actions such as Close Box/Order Compete,
No Pick, End of Pick, Do Not Advance, etc. Invoice and
customer detail are sent to the display which helps
operators verify they have made the correct actions.
Display
Characters
The display
is divided into 8 linear text rows (8X8bit). DPS
selects to use three font sizes to provide order detail to
picking operators. Graphics capabilities provide
endless message to pick staff options to clearly instruct
events / picks. Examples below:

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
iPICK
represents a most advanced, accurate, productive and
economical light directed order fulfillment solution. This
unique 4th generation design can easily reformat to meet
varying daily load to labor requirements to balance pick
activity/load to available labor, spreading the pick’s
equally amongst operators.
The iPICK
LCD display is a very intelligent microprocessor based unit
with memory and large display format. Multiple lines of
data and/or graphical images for instruction are sent to
operator to guide disposition of the pick or container
handling in the pick process.

BIN Display Module
The
iPICK
LCD display is easy to install and maintain using the DPS
innovative “snap-to-track” design.
iPICK
uses a four conductor embedded BUS integrated in the durable
plastic extrusion which can be virtually mounted anywhere in
flow racks or to static shelving. The embedded BUS design
eliminates the problems associated with other designs. Data
and power requirements travel the BUS with each module
having BUS contacts that employ a “wiping” design that
actually reseats each device with use.
Each pick module is pre-assigned a unique serial number
eliminating the need to set dip switches or configure
elaborate setup address schemes. Maintenance associated and
system outages associated with poor connections and shorted
wiring is eliminated.
iPICK
modules can perform as BIN/item instruction detail display
or as the Master Order Control Display for advancing and
reviewing pick/carton-tote detail reducing the number of
devices in the entire system. System spare on-hand
replacement parts are kept to a minimum.

Master Control Display
Module
As orders enter a pick area,
the Master Control Display module indicates current order
number or tote/box number together with customer number and
number of totes/boxes for the specific order. The example
above is showing the route, invoice sequence, account number
and specific invoice reference number.

COMPONENTS
 |
iPICK
Track is made of extruded plastic snap-tite front and back
with four (4) embedded power and data wire conductors
forming a BUS design. The innovative engineered BUS design
track allows for “snap-in” of modules speeding installation
and reducing maintenance and system down outages due to
faulty wires and connections of older systems. BOTTOM SIZE:
60” X 2.56” X 1.19” TOP SIZE: 60” X 2.56” X .400”
iPICK
display module is comprised of the LCD graphical display,
display daughter board and the cover assembly. The cover
assembly keypad has a translucent rubber switch over a
tri-color LED that is mounted over the rigid extruded cover
that joins the LCD display, daughter board and cover
together forming the display module unit that “snaps” into
the bottom track extrusion. SIZE: 5.25” X 2.56” X 1.094”
iPICK
data and power (I/O module) module bring the power and data
into the track, plus jumper the power and data from track to
track. One (1) I/O boards is required at each connection of
5 foot track, plus at data or power entrance to the system.
SIZE: 4.65” X 2.56” X 1.094”
iPICK
repeater/amplifier module handle data distribution
activities through our the system, condition the data and
extend the distances of data transmission. A minimum of one
(1) repeater/amplifier board is required for each system.
The data entrance to system is first linked up to a
repeater/amplifier module from an I/O module. A
repeater/amplifier module will handle a minimum of 100
displays. SIZE: 4.65” X 2.56” X 1.094” |

SYSTEM SAFETY: Low voltage system REQUIRES
POWER OFF to SERVICE any component of iPICK.
FAILURE MAY CAUSE EXTREME HARM OR DEATH.
Track conductors can carry 50 AMPs of 12 volt
DC current.
The iPICK design allows personnel to safely swap
modules with limited exposure to track rails
however, Murphy's Law always applies so it's best to
remove power when servicing. LOW VOLTAGE DOES NOT
IMPLY LOW HAZARD! 100mA for 3 seconds = 900mA for
.03 seconds MAY cause fibrillation.
