Light-Guided Picking Systems by Ansomat

Pick-to-Light for Production & Assembly

At Ansomat we apply pick-to-light technology directly in production, assembly and kitting environments, where accuracy, traceability and operator guidance are critical.

Our light-guided solutions help operators pick the right part, at the right time, in the right sequence, without PLC programming and without complex IT infrastructure.

What is Pick-to-Light in a Production Context?

Pick-to-Light is a visual guidance system in which light modules, projections or wearables guide operators step-by-step through assembly and kitting processes.

Each pick action is validated digitally, ensuring:

  • Zero-error picking
  • Real-time traceability
  • Faster onboarding of new operators
  • Fully configurable workflows for high-mix production environments

Pick-to-light sensors

Pick-to-light sensors use illuminated modules positioned at each storage location to direct operators to the correct parts. When an item is needed, the relevant indicator activates and typically displays the required pick quantity. These modules come in several variants, such as tactile confirmation buttons, traditional push mechanisms, and contact-free sensors that register hand movement inside the bin.

Features:

  • Numeric display showing the quantity to pick
  • Confirmation via push-button or touch / proximity sensor
  • Robust and suitable for high-volume repetitive picking

Augmented Reality Pick-to-Light with 3D Confirmation

A projector highlights the exact picking location.
A 3D sensor validates that the operator’s hand entered the correct zone.

Advantages 

  • No hard-wired hardware on bins
  • Very fast installation
  • Clean workstation design

Considerations

  • The picking area must remain static.

Bracelet-Based Pick-to-Light (Wearable Guidance)

A lightweight wristband tracks every hand movement and validates each pick digitally.

How it works

  • Anchors are installed across the workstation
  • Positions are taught via Ansomat’s easy configuration interface
  • Every motion becomes a validated digital action

What Makes Ansomat Different?

Our uniqueness

Unlike traditional pick-to-light suppliers, Ansomat focuses on operator guidance in production, not warehousing. Our philosophy is that the operator remains the backbone of the factory and we need to give him the tools in order to do his job

Key Differentiators

No PLC Programming Required
Configure bin locations and workflows yourself using our intuitive configurator.

Multiple Picking Technologies in One Platform
Combine bin sensors, AR projection and wearable bracelets in a single solution.

More Than Picking, Complete Operator Guidance
Picking is only one element. Operators also receive instructions, context and validation directly on their workstation screens.

Seamless Integration with Production Tools

  • Barcode scanners
  • Torque tools
  • Vision systems
  • RTLS
  • Printers
  • ... and many more
