Intelligent Warehouse Locating Solution with Smart Light Guidance, IoT Tracking & Real-Time Item Visibility

 

Smart warehouse visual picking system with sound-light tags for item locating

 

Modern warehouses are becoming increasingly complex due to:

  • Growing SKU quantities
  • Faster order fulfillment requirements
  • Labor shortages
  • Temporary inventory movement
  • Increasing dependence on experienced warehouse workers

 

Traditional warehouse searching methods often rely on:

  • Employee memory
  • Manual shelf inspection
  • PDA screen verification
  • Fixed storage location records

 

These approaches create challenges such as:

  • Long searching time
  • High labor dependency
  • Picking inefficiency
  • Difficulty locating temporarily moved inventory
  • Increased operational costs

 

The FYJ Smart Warehouse Visual Picking & Item Locating Solution is an intelligent warehouse automation solution that combines Pick-to-Light technology, sound-light tags, IoT locating devices, and warehouse software integration to help businesses quickly locate products, pallets, materials, and returnable assets.

 

The solution is designed to provide:

  • Up to 99.9% locating accuracy under suitable deployment environments
  • Less than 1 second response time after locating commands
  • 1+ year battery life for smart locating tags

 

Helping enterprises transform warehouse operations from:

  • Searching → Locating
  • Experience-based operation → Digital operation

 

 

What Is a Smart Warehouse Visual Picking & Item Locating System?

 

A Smart Warehouse Visual Picking & Item Locating System, also known as a Pick-to-Light System, is an intelligent warehouse technology that uses light and sound signals to guide operators to the correct item location.

Unlike traditional picking methods where workers repeatedly switch between:

PDA Screen → Shelf → Product → PDA Screen

a smart locating system provides direct physical guidance:

Search Item → Target Tag Activates → Light & Sound Guidance → Operator Finds Item

By reducing manual searching and improving location visibility, visual picking systems help warehouses:

  • Reduce picking time
  • Lower picking errors
  • Reduce dependency on experienced workers
  • Shorten employee training cycles
  • Improve warehouse productivity

Warehouse Challenges We Solve

 

Different industries face different locating problems. FYJ provides targeted smart locating solutions for various warehouse environments.

 

Smart locating solution applications in warehouse, logistics and manufacturing industries

 

1. Traditional Warehouse

Reduce Dependency on Experienced Warehouse Workers

Challenge

Many traditional warehouses rely heavily on experienced employees who remember:

  • Product locations
  • Storage rules
  • Warehouse layout

When experienced workers leave:

  • New employees require longer training
  • Picking speed decreases
  • Operational knowledge is difficult to transfer

FYJ Solution

FYJ installs smart sound-light tags on:

  • Storage shelves
  • Material bins
  • Product locations
  • Frequently picked items

When an item needs to be located:

  • The system identifies the target item
  • A locating command is sent
  • The corresponding tag flashes and sounds
  • The operator immediately finds the correct location

Business Benefits

  • Reduce dependence on experienced workers
  • Shorten employee onboarding time
  • Improve picking consistency
  • Make warehouse operations easier to standardize

 

2. E-commerce Warehouse

Reduce Visual Switching Between PDA and Products

Challenge

E-commerce fulfillment centers process thousands of order lines every day.

Operators frequently switch between:

PDA → Shelf → Product → PDA

This causes:

  • Reduced picking speed
  • Visual fatigue
  • Higher error risks
  • Lower fulfillment efficiency

FYJ Solution

FYJ Smart Pick-to-Light System provides direct picking guidance:

Order Generated → Location Identified → Smart Tag Activated → Product Picked

Workers follow the light and sound signal instead of manually searching through shelves.

Business Benefits

  • Faster order fulfillment
  • Reduced picking mistakes
  • Lower training requirements
  • Improved warehouse productivity

 

3. 3PL Warehouse

Solve Peak Season Pallet Searching Problems

Challenge

3PL warehouses often experience dynamic inventory problems during peak seasons:

  • Temporary pallet storage
  • Frequent forklift movement
  • Changing inventory locations
  • System location mismatch

The inventory exists, but operators cannot quickly locate the physical pallet.

FYJ Solution

FYJ deploys magnetic sound-light tags on pallets.

The solution supports dynamic locating scenarios:

  • Pallets can move freely
  • No fixed storage limitation
  • Target pallets can be located quickly

Workflow:

Input Order Number → System Locates Asset → Tag Flashes & Sounds → Operator Finds Pallet

Business Benefits

  • Reduce pallet searching time
  • Improve peak-season operation capability
  • Increase temporary storage utilization
  • Reduce warehouse overtime pressure

 

4. Manufacturing Material Warehouse
