Moreover, warehouse manual picking is traditionally characterized by a high human factor impact; which derives that improving such a system requires a reduction of both orders processing time and human possible errors. In this sense, a possible strategy can be the development and employment of technological systems able to support operators during their picking tours. The aim of this study is to present a new pick-to-light design solution capable of driving different operators through their activities, preventing or reducing errors by a new real-time control and alert system, based on the main potentialities of the RFID technology. After the description of the technical characteristics and of the operation of the new solution, a qualitative comparison with other existing paperless picking systems is also proposed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/rft-150071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,19]],"date-time":"2016-01-19T12:21:10Z","timestamp":1453206070000},"page":"43-63","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["New RFID pick-to-light system: Operating characteristics and future potential"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Andriolo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daria","family":"Battini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Calzavara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mauro","family":"Gamberi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Umberto","family":"Peretti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Persona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Pilati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Sgarbossa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Vicenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref001","unstructured":"BartholdiJ.J. & HackmanS.T.
