Introduction ABLEPick is an advanced paperless picking system providing an innovative, streamlined and cost-effective Pick-to-light solution to simplify the order fulfillment process in warehouse or distribution center. ABLEPick use a state-of-the-art and light-directed technology to maximize the picking productivity, speed and accuracy in different picking operation. Products Features - Ethernet architecture, follow up the standard TCP/IP communication protocol. - CABLELESS pick tags.
. PICK-TO-LIGHT OPERATION Work flow of pick-to-light system: Below simply describe the basic operation Data entry Picking list files can be downloaded to the LAN server or PC from WMS/MIS host. These files will be read and merged into pick-to-light picking list database. Control and communication Pick-to-light software will monitor picking flow and offer real-time information on the screen.
ABLEPick Hardware TCP/IP controller AT500 TCP/IP controller is a data transmission medium between picking control PC and all the picking devices. Which is Ethernet architecture product, following up the standard TCP/IP communication protocol to communicate with the host PC. Each controller has 4 output channels to connect to the picking devices, each channel can connect to maximum 30 devices. So one TCP/IP controller can connect to maximum 120 pcs of picking devices.
I/O port pin assignment pin Defin. 1 RTS+ 2 RTS3 DATA+ 4 DATA5 GND 6 +12V /3A 7 Fan switch, 45 C auto power on 8 AT500’s IP configuration AT500’s default IP address is “10.0.50.100” and sub-mask is “255.255.0.0”. You can use ATOP’s tool “MONITOR.exe” to know and re-configure each AT500’s IP address. Connection to TCP/IP controller (AT500) Since AT500 has no DHCP function, so its host control PC/NB need to assign one IP address which have to be within the same domain as the AT500.
Picking Tag : AT707-A-4K-RF Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
AT707-A-4K-RF is an advanced picking device which can be able to implement less or no zone boundary within order fulfillment operation for pick-by-light or put-by-light flow, called zoneless picking light. AT707-A-4K-RF’s communication protocol is fully compatible with Atop’s other cableless pick-to-light products.
User use the RF tag by “finger ring type” to push the confirmation button, when RF reader catch and recognize the tag’s UID code, it will auto-retrieve its corresponding button’s data from buffer to show on the 7-digit LED display, meantime, its corresponding button’s light could change to different status to distinguish with the other standby buttons and confirmation button also has the same LED color as the small button tell user which color is working on.
User needs to use the same RF tag to push the confirmation button again to confirm this picking (double hits). Then the small button will be off to mean its picking is completed. And the message on the prompt buffer will be shown up for 2 sec (such as “End”…etc).automatically. With the RF design, AT707-A-4K-RF allows system software to track each pick back to a specific picker, by this way, each picker’s productivity could be countable accurately.
Step3: The confirmation button’s LED light will change color: RED, GREEN , BLUE sequently. Step4: Show the F/W version of the tag. For example: “U1.0”. Step5: Show the address ID of the tag. For example: “[001]” (this is a decimal number). Step6: Show the tag mode configuration of the tag. The default tag mode configuration value is 115. in decimal. Address configuration via the buttons directly.
7) RF reader can be configured to be enabled or disabled.
