Manage Put-to-Light walls in the Skublox Hub

Overview

In contrast to the Pick-to-Light workflow, Put-to-Light is a method used in order sorting processes where items are brought to a designated location after being picked, and sorted into individual customer orders on a stationary Skublox wall.  There are two sides to the Skublox system – the sorting side and the shipping side.

Once goods are picked from the warehouse and brought to your sorting area, simply log into the Skublox Sorter app on your device and scan them. Skublox will automatically designate a slot for each scanned item, grouping products that belong to the same order together, and lighting up the assigned slot in your unique color. To confirm that the item has been placed in the slot, simply scan the slot barcode!

When all the items for an order are accurately assembled, the light on the shipper side of the wall turns green, indicating that this order is ready to be packed and leave the warehouse.
