Pick by light system

Pick by Light guides through the assembly process step by step

On assembly workstations equipped with SETAGO® Pick-by-Light worker guidance system, every employee really can perform the respective assembly task without errors. The worker assistance system guides the worker safely through the individual process steps using images, videos and sensors.

The operation is very simple: The SETAGO® system uses digital work instructions to show the worker which component to assemble next, where to take it from and how to assemble the component. Correctly executed workflows initiate the next process step. If the worker accidentally picks up the wrong material or uses the wrong torque for tightening, this is recognised and the assembly process is stopped. Continuation is only possible after correction. This eliminates errors, ensures product quality and increases productivity.

At the same time, with the support of SETAGO® Pick-by-Light, even new, inexperienced or cognitively impaired employees can fulfil complex orders reliably and productively with practically no training time.

SETAGO® App Software - The easy way to digitalization

SETAGO® App software is more than just a digital assembly manual. It can control and monitor the complete assembly process. It combines assembly-supporting components such as printers, scanners, collaborative robots, driverless transport systems or screwdrivers into a complete solution. Orders are processed completely paperless through the ERP interface.
