K.F.I. S.r.l., a company founded in 1991 and located in Binasco (Milan) is a leader in the implementation of integrated traceability solutions for and product codification for supply chain management (production, logistics and distribution). K.F.I. is a strategic partner that can supply advanced Auto-ID, Mobile & Wireless, Voice, RFID and Electronic Payment System solutions to businesses.
The demand for solutions that improve the efficiency of online logistics activities is constantly on the up. The number of companies that have their own distribution logistics and decide to activate an e-commerce channel is growing, so a structure to prepare orders (picking/packing) and manage returns (reverse logistic) is needed.
"K.F.I. developed Pick to Light to help businesses with their e-commerce. It is a wireless solution which uses a light-directed technology that can meet the specific needs of this sector," explains K.F.I.'s Business Development Manager Guido Madella.
In addition, thanks to the Voice To Light wireless solution, operators receive information about the goods to pick and their location via earphones. If the picking is correct, a light on the trolley lights up. In case the voice technology is not used, operators receive the orders through tablets placed on carts and equipped with an integrated barcode reader to confirms whether the picking is correct.
Pick to light is particularly useful for return management too. The products returned by final clients are put back in the correct warehouse area thanks to a light signal. It can be used for handling counters, distribution carts, etc.
This solution makes picking more efficient and facilitates the work of warehouse operators.
