Alaska Distributors Co. in Seattle, Washington has chosen SeayCo Integrators, Inc. to implement its Load-IT software system in its new Seattle Distribution Center. The project will include SeayCo conveyor controls and software. SeayCo will also be writing the Pick-to-Voice software to drive the bottle picking operation. Load-IT has been implemented in a number of Beverage Distribution Centers, including Georgia Crown, Martignetti, and Republic Beverage.

SeayCo has commissioned four Select-IT Systems nationwide in 2005. The Select-IT system redefines Pick-to-Light automation and offers a 200% improvement over paper picking. As with other Pick-to-Light systems, lights and LED displays guide the order picker through the selection process, show the picks with corresponding quantities simultaneously, and then indicate when the order is complete.

• Completed multiple systems each consisting of over 3000 lights
• Data recording of picker accountability
• Zone-less picking, which can improve pick rates 20-50% over a zoned operation, and
• Easy installation, control and maintenance.

Our Select-IT team is managed by Dave Parker, Vice President Software Engineering, Bud Malmstrom, Project Manager, and John Robinson, Lead Software Engineer.

Tony McKinney has been promoted to Software Engineer Support Lead. Tony has a decade of experience in software and was responsible for co-development of SeayCo’s Select-IT and Load-IT products.
