I'm looking for digital display units that will become part of a "pick-to-light" system. The displays must be networkable - serial, wireless, ethernet. They must also be addressable so taht they can be moved when the storage slots for the products they are "attached" to are moved. A PLC will write data to each device as required.
I was looking at small HMIs and Redlion banner displays, but they're overkill for the application.
Each of 200 products to be picked will have three displays that indicate to the order picker how many rows, cases and units of each product are required to fill an order. Once picked, the order pickes presses a button to confirm (this will be read by the same PLC) and moves on to the next product.
As you can see, a minimum of 200 displays will be required (maybe even 600, if a three-gang device can't be found). I was hoping to find something for under $200 per product ($40,000)
Any suggestions?
