Flow Rack

Flow rack adopts roller aluminum alloy, sheet metal and other fluent strips, utilizing the self weight of the cargo rack to store inventory from one channel and pick up goods from the other channel for first in, first out, convenient storage, and multiple times of replenishment. Flow racks have high storage efficiency and are suitable for short-term storage and picking of large quantities of goods. Commonly used sliding containers include turnover boxes, parts boxes, and cardboard boxes, suitable for large quantities of goods and short-term storage and picking. Widely used in distribution centers, assembly workshops, and warehouses with high shipping frequencies.

Carton flow rack is a highly efficient order picking solution with a high-density storage capacity. Designed as a bed of rollers on a slanted platform, this system lets gravity do most of the work. The goods are loaded from one end of the rack, and they automatically slide to the other (picking) end of the rack under the influence of gravity rollers. Carton flow rack allows great stock turnover as it follows First in First out (FIFO) inventory principle which means that the products that are stored first will be the first ones to be picked up. This system is ideal for warehouses that need automatic inventory rotation. Since the loading and unloading happens at two separate ends of the rack, there are literally no interruptions in the order picking operations. This helps in swift preparation of orders on both ends.

By eliminating the need of intermediate aisles, carton flow rackbecomes exceptionally compact and space efficient which helps in saving up on costly floor space. Another remarkable feature of this storage system is that all references or SKUs are at the front end of the rack, which ultimately reduces the amount of time and errors in order picking and hence makes this system a very efficient one. Apart from this, Live Shelving is super flexible and adaptable and can be assisted with conveyors and Put to Light/Pick to Light systems for even better order picking efficiency. Put to Light is an automated system that sets off a light on a screen to help the user know how many units are to be deposited in which rack. Pick to Light is a similar system that helps the user know how many units are to be picked up from which rack. These automated systems help speed up the order preparation process by eliminating the need of paperwork.
