Pick by light system

Pick by Light worker guidance for zero errors in production

The SETAGO® Pick by Light worker guidance system is based on the worker assistance software, which guides employees step by step through the assembly process using images and videos. In addition, the Pick by Light worker guidance system includes sensors that indicate which component needs to be picked and where. This ensures error-free execution of the assembly process throughout.

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.
