E-KANBAN-System via Pick to Light KANBAN is the Japanese word for “card” and describes a method of production process management.

This method concentrates solely on the materials actually used at the point of production. The kanban system manages the value chain at every stage of production at optimal cost. Removal and storage of goods in buffer warehouses is carried out asynchronously.

Throughout the entire production process, the distribution of materials in buffer warehouses is managed in traditional manner through the simple dissemination of information (kanban cards), enabling short transport routes.

The E-KANBAN system is an extension of the tried-and-tested Pick to Light Poka Yoke system from WIBOND Informationssysteme GmbH, allowing usage information and supply messages to be transmitted directly to the distribution warehouse.

This process is entirely automated using state-ofthe-art visualisation media, completely without aids such as the usual plug-in cards.

This eliminates not only the need to move cards from the buffer warehouse to the distribution warehouse, but also eliminates the risk of them being lost.

Function of the server Each track on the supermarket shelf is equipped with an additional sensor (e.g. light sensor).

This checks (to an adjustable depth) whether a load carrier is on the shelf track at this position. Once there are no more load carriers in this position, the system sends a signal directly to the distribution warehouse (for example via a monitor).

Alternatively, employees can enter a replenishment requirement manually on the freely programmable +/-buttons on the picking display, or scan the barcode on the parts container.

Industry 4.0 Data from the PickVision system sensors and barcode scanners is combined via the PickVisionServer application bus system (Service).

The data is then centrally stored, either in database or a superordinate production system. The visualisation of the relevant material/production data is carried out via our professional visualisation systems.

Explanation of image In the example, a monitor displays to warehouse employees all relevant data about the replenishment requirement that has been triggered (shelf + item number). It is also possible to alert employees to a replenishment requirement by sounding a buzzer (change of state at the sensor). The E-KANBAN system thus makes it possible to transmit the replenishment requirements of each buffer warehouse to the distribution warehouse as quickly and simply as possible.

The filling of compartments can be monitored with the help of scanners, for example. In this case, employees can be promptly alerted to filling mistakes via acoustic and/or optical signals.

PickVisionManager PickVisionManager allows you to configure and manage your entire Pick by Light system independently.

From the installation of PickVision displays and virtual shelf design to the management of daily tasks, this user-friendly software offers the appropriate applications.

There is thus no need for a programmer or IT specialist. PickVisionManager allows you to react independently to short-term changes.

employees with important on-site information (stages of assembly, item information, images, videos, and much more).

The clear, well-structured graphical user interface allows you to install the PickVision system in just a few hours. The PickVision manual provides step-bystep guidance through all the necessary set-up and configuration measures.

Thus, in next to no time you will be ready to profit from the numerous benefits of our PickVision system incl. e-kanban.

System benefits Material flow planning benefits from significant simplification and cost-optimisation thanks to the fully automated, electronic dissemination of replenishment requirements.

Paper-based kanban cards are no longer required, and can therefore not be lost nor errors made.
