TRUE Okura Co., Ltd.

Due to the influence of the new coronavirus pandemic, the demand for on-line shopping is expanding in Thailand as well. In order to process a large number of orders with a limited number of people, it is important for operators to be able to pick products quickly and without hesitation.

In this article, we will introduce an assortment (sowing) picking system that greatly improves efficiency of shipping while being inexpensive and simple.

Even beginners can easily get results immediately! What is a "PTI system" using LED lights?

The "PTI system" is a new type LED sorting system that uses LED lights located above the rack illuminating to indicate the products that need to be picked. By simply following the trajectory of the light, the operator can find the collection box to be put in, and can work speedily without hesitation.

The system consists simply of racks, LED lights, a touch panel, and a ring type scanner. It is a very simple system that can be implemented with minimal capital investment.

◾️ Perfect for the following customers

Want to streamline logistics for online shopping
Most of the operators are part timer or temporary workers
Change in items and SKU’s is very frequent
Handling volume fluctuates very greatly dependent on seasons or sales campaigns
Have fragile or odd-shaped items that need to be handled
Want to introduce an assortment system with a small capital investment
Want to reduce fixed equipment as much as possible

Case study in Japan: Distribution center for online shopping

Eliminated operation errors and improved shipping efficiency by 30%!

In Japan, there was an evaluation at a distribution center for online shopping that "operation efficiency was improved and shipping efficiency was increased by 30%."

PTI มาตรฐาน

The standard PTI system is "1 set/1 operator", but by adding another LED light or a handy-terminal system, multiple operators can work simultaneously.

Therefore, even if the handling volume increases, there is no need to expand the facility, and the system can be flexibly coped with.

Aggregated Picking

▲ Read a shipping list with a ring scanner and start operation. With the "collective picking" system, even small items can be easily picked up.

◾️ Voice of customer
We expected to improve picking efficiency and reduce operational mistakes (such as mistaking one shelf for another). Although it is a simple system, the effect has exceeded our expectations and shipping efficiency has been greatly improved. The system is easy to use for beginners, and even a novice operator got used to it quickly.
