Paperless picking system

An elongate support rail and a location or zone level data device for use in a paperless picking system, said support rail having a plurality of longitudinally extending spaced apart channels formed therein, each channel defining an opening into which may be inserted one or more lengths of insulated conducting wire, the location or zone level data device being attachable to a front face of the rail, the device having a plurality of penetrating pins corresponding generally in lateral spacing to the channels in the support rail, the pins being adapted to penetrate the insulation of the wire with the device in an operational position, thereby to provide an electrical connection between the device and the wire at selected locations on the support rail.
