NEO LIGHT PTL
Pick-to-Light Smart Reel Rack
NEO LIGHT PTL is a pick to light manufacturing system — an entry-level pick-to-light smart reel rack that uses RGB LEDs at every slot to precisely guide operators to the target location for picking or stocking. With a 1,400-reel capacity, compatibility with 7 to 15-inch reels, and zero learning curve, it is ready to use right out of the box. Single pick time drops from 45 seconds with manual searching to just 3 seconds.
The Storage Hub of the Material Loop: Stocking, Picking & Return
NEO LIGHT PTL handles Storage (②), Picking (③), and Return (⑥) in the material closed loop. In the semi-auto ecosystem, NEO SCAN handles registration, NEO LIGHT PTL manages storage, picking and return, while NEO COUNTER X400 handles remaining-quantity counting.
