Introduction

Intelligent lighting and sensor solution for Industry 4.0

The PickBeam is a universal IIoT actuator and sensor for industrial applications. It combines precise environmental data acquisition with dynamic RGB/RGBW LED control. Up to 5 RGB lines of 5 metres each (optionally up to 10 m with additional power supply) can be controlled individually – ideal for pick-to-light, machine visualisation and smart factory workflows. Integrated communication via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, MQTT and HTTP-REST enables open system integration and long-term storage of sensor data.

Key features

  1. Intelligent operation

  • Continuous monitoring of environmental data with secure MQTT transmission.

  • LED light lines for clear visual signalling (e.g. red for alarms, green for confirmation).

  • Integrated buttons for triggering events such as confirmations or actions.

  1. Intuitive web interface

  • Easy access via your browser: http://[device IP].

  • Clear dashboards for displaying sensor values in real time.

  • Direct LED line control and access to the system log.

  1. Integrated troubleshooting support

  • No Wi-Fi connection → Quick reconfiguration via Bluetooth.

  • LED lines inactive → Check or replace the power supply.

  • Incorrect sensor data → Simply calibrate the device via the app.

  • System-LED Red → Restart the device or contact support.

  1. Maximise your productivity:

  • Save time and resources and significantly reduce the error rate.

  • Increase the efficiency of your warehouse.

  • Improve customer satisfaction.
