Some impressions of our customer solution
Project brief
The BITO Solution
Efficient material supply
»Pallet racking with flow shelves at operator reach height is perfect for supplying items at workplaces or along production lines. With each lane being assigned to a specific item, all items are neatly presented and can be conveniently picked in FIFO order.
Separate aisles for replenishment and picking
» The feed-through shelves are filled with items from the back. The items are stored in boxes that move on plastic rollers over to the opposite side where they can be picked up as needed.
Practical BITO SK bin drawers
» Bin drawers keep items organised for ergonomic picking.
On-site application and key features of our storage solution
- The BITO racks are located adjacent to the production line and provide about 40 workstations with materials.
- A total of 360 flow shelves provides sufficient space for 3,600 SK storage bins.
