Which of the following is an example of technology-assisted picking?

• A. Voice picking
• B. Barcode scanning
• C. Pick-to-light
• D. Manual picking

Answer: (C)

Technology-assisted picking means using devices that guide or confirm the picker’s actions. Pick-to-light directly guides the worker by lighting the exact bin and showing the quantity to pick, so the correct items are collected quickly and with fewer errors. This real-time, location-specific cueing is why it’s the clearest example of technology-assisted picking: the tool actively directs the task at the point of pick. Other methods like voice prompts or barcode scanning involve technology too, but they don’t provide the same immediate, visual location guidance to the exact item, and manual picking has no tech aid at all.
