XPO Logistics to Showcase Award-Winning “Pick and Put to Light” Technology at SITL Europe
February 18 2020 - 7:00AM
XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading
global provider of transportation and logistics solutions, will
present its Pick and Put to Light system in the innovation gallery
at SITL 2020 from March 17 to 20 in Paris. The technology recently
received the prestigious Innovation Award at Kings of the Supply
Chain 2020.
XPO developed Pick and Put to Light from the ground up in
collaboration with technology partner Actemium Lyon Logistics, a
member company of the global Actemium network dedicated to
industrial process improvement. The solution uses color recognition
to retrieve palletized products and route them within the
warehouse, assisting employees with fulfilment processes. The
technology is fully integrated with XPO’s warehouse management
system.
XPO and Actemium designed Pick and Put to Light to address
specific roadblocks to efficiency in logistics environments,
including inefficient use of employee time and material handling
vehicles and overreliance on voice communication. The system has
increased productivity by 14% on average in the picking process,
improved utilization of production capacity during peak periods and
dramatically reduced operator training time, while enhancing speed,
accuracy, control and safety.
Richard Cawston, managing director, supply chain – Europe, XPO
Logistics, said, “Pick and Put to Light is an industry-first
technology that improves service quality while enhancing the
workplace for logistics employees. Our team was extremely proud to
receive the Innovation Award for thinking beyond traditional
processes and developing a truly transformative
solution.”
