ieoSSD · Smart Warehouse Pick-by-Light System

Slots that light up the way for your pickers

The ieoSSD smart light controller connects to any system through HTTP/URL — no major changes to your existing WMS/ERP. Full-color LEDs on each slot guide pickers to walk by light and pick with zero errors. Choose from LED strings, bulbs, strips or signal towers, with a web management console and scan-based inventory APP — ready out of the box.

Why ieoSSD Pick-by-Light

Turn searching into seeing — visible efficiency gains at minimal retrofit cost.

Plugs into any system

Connects to any WMS / ERP / MES via HTTP/URL. One JSON command lights any slot — no major system changes required.

Scales to your warehouse

Up to 20,000 LEDs per system. One master controller drives multiple sub-controllers, each managing up to 600 slot lights — expand shelf by shelf.

Full-color RGB guidance

Color and brightness are fully programmable: red, green, blue, white — distinguish picking, replenishing and counting tasks at a glance.

Quick to deploy

RS485 daisy-chain between controllers, SM3P plug-in LED strings; supports external and mobile power. Compact size fits any warehouse structure.

Use Cases

Beyond picking — anywhere position guidance is needed.

Warehouse Management

Light-guided picking, replenishment and counting, with the scan APP keeping records accurate.

Device Status Indication

Running / standby / fault states shown in different colors — anomalies visible at a glance.

E-commerce Operations

Batch picking with multi-order zone lighting keeps peak seasons fast and error-free.

Content Creation

Prop and equipment positioning for studios — everything easy to find and return.

Education & Demo

An ideal hardware platform for smart-warehouse teaching and IoT training.

Research & Testing

Open HTTP / Modbus-TCP interfaces make secondary development and automation experiments easy.

Controllable LED types
Signal Tower

Three-Color Tower Light

IEO-TRL-MOD-20 module over RS485; up to 20 towers per module, 30 modules in series control 600 towers (approx. 5 W each).

Strip / String + Aluminum Profile

Aluminum channel with frosted PVC cover — even, glare-free light that protects LEDs and upgrades shelf looks.

Aluminum profile light solution
  • Strip + profile: IEO-LED-STRIPS-Al — strip embedded in channel, soft diffused light
  • String + profile: IEO-LED-STRINGS-Al — bead strings neatly housed in the channel
  • Aviation aluminum, oxidized finish, anti-corrosion; surface mount, 20 mm × 10 mm

Core Features

Open the master controller IP in a browser to manage everything — no client software needed.

Light Self-Test

Marquee, all-on and selection test modes — verify every bead right after installation.

Manual Control

Single-LED and free multi-select control on the web; USB barcode guns can light slots directly — handy for commissioning.

Slot Address Mapping

Map any custom slot ID to any LED (e.g. B001 ↔ sub #1 bead #0); bulk import via Excel — rearrange shelves without touching code.

Warehouse Console

Find items by barcode, name or phone; filter empty slots; export data; sort by multiple dimensions.

System Integration

HTTP GET/POST JSON API + Modbus-TCP (port 19998) for PLCs — WMS, ERP and automation lines all welcome.

Online Upgrade

Firmware upgrades right from the browser — no disassembly, done on site in minutes.

Light Any Slot with One Command

One HTTP POST to the master controller lights or extinguishes slots in batch, by slot ID or bead index. Response OK means done — integration takes half a day:

{
  "type": "2811",
  "color": 255,      // 颜色:255 蓝 / 65280 绿 / 16711680 红 / 0 灭灯
  "lights": {
    "0": ["B001", "B002", "B003"],   // 第1分控:点亮货位 B001~B003
    "1": [10, 11]                    // 第2分控:点亮第11、12颗灯珠
  }
}
See the Rack Controller Integration Guide for full parameters and Modbus-TCP register protocol — available on request.

Scan In / Out APP

Scan with your phone to complete in/out operations — LEDs light up to guide, no need to remember locations.

  • Scan-in: scan slot code + item code to bind and store; the LED turns off automatically
  • Scan-out: scan the item code, its slot LED lights up with stock info; light off after confirmation
  • Scanning a slot code lights that LED for instant positioning
  • Same-LAN with the master controller; scan the login QR to connect — one-minute setup

Three Steps to Start

Wire and power, configure in browser, integrate — usable the same day.

1
Wire & Power

Connect master, subs and LED strings via RS485 / SM3P; power on and it boots, IP shown on the LCD.

2
Configure in Browser

Enter the master IP, set network and node counts, import the slot mapping, verify with marquee test.

3
Integrate

Send HTTP commands from your WMS / ERP to light slots — or simply use the APP for scan in/out, ready out of the box.
