Our Expertise

What is a PTL Warehouse?

A PTL warehouse system is a storage facility where the picking of goods is supported by a Pick-to-Light system. This system uses light signals to show workers where to pick items from, making the process quicker and more accurate. PTL warehouses are suitable for businesses with a high volume of orders and a wide range of stock-keeping units (SKUs). This setup helps improve order fulfilment, reduce human error, and support efficient operations.

What is a PTL Pick-to-Light System?

A PTL Pick-to-Light system is a guided picking solution that uses lights mounted on storage shelves. When an order is placed, lights turn on to show the picker where to go and what quantity to pick. Once the item is picked, the worker presses a button to confirm. The system then moves to the next item. This reduces the time spent searching for products and helps staff stay focused on correct picks. It can be connected to warehouse software to support tracking and data updates.

What is PTL and FTL?

PTL stands for Pick-to-Light. It is a method used inside a warehouse to guide picking tasks. FTL stands for Full-Truckload and refers to shipping. FTL involves sending a full truck of goods to a single customer or location. While PTL focuses on internal warehouse accuracy and speed, FTL is about how goods are transported once packed. Both are key parts of the supply chain but serve different functions.

Key Features of Our PTL Systems

Light-Guided Workflow

Our PTL system lights up the correct location for each item. It removes guesswork and helps workers move through picking routes faster.

Easy Pick Confirmation

Each picking station has a simple button to confirm each item is picked. The system moves on only after this step, which helps reduce missed items.

Real-Time Integration

Our system connects with your Warehouse Management System (WMS). It updates inventory and order status as you pick.

Modular and Scalable

The system can be used for a small section or an entire warehouse. It works well with batch, zone, or single-order picking.

Benefits of PTL in Warehouse Operations

A PTL warehouse system improves performance across key areas of order fulfilment, accuracy, and labour efficiency. Here’s how it helps your operations:

Faster Picking

The PTL warehouse system shortens the time it takes to complete orders. Workers do not need paper lists or handheld scanners. They simply follow the lights.

Better Accuracy

The clear display helps reduce picking mistakes. With fewer errors, customer complaints and returns are reduced.

Short Training Time

The simple design means new staff can learn quickly. Most workers can begin picking on the first day, which reduces training costs.

Live Inventory Tracking

When the PTL system is linked to your WMS, stock levels are updated as soon as picks are made. This supports better planning and less stock loss.

Fits All Warehouse Sizes

PTL can support a single shelf or many aisles. It grows with your business and is flexible to fit your layout.

Reduced Aisle Congestion

With faster pick routes and fewer delays, PTL systems help avoid crowding in busy warehouse aisles. This supports better flow and reduces workplace strain.

We also offer material handling solutions that complement our PTL systems, enabling you to fully optimise your entire workflow from picking to dispatch.
