The BITO Solution
- Low level order picking
» BITO implements a carton live storage system at floor level height from where the goods can be picked according to the First-in First-out (FIFO) principle.
- Brake rollers
» The flow channels are equipped with brake rollers which ensure a smooth and controlled movement of the products and avoids damages.
- Pallet buffer levels on top
» Pallet racking levels for palletized goods are located above the carton flow levels.
- Shelving
» BITO Boltless shelving rounds off the storage solution.
- Push-back pallet racking
» The storage solution also includes BITO push-back pallet racking.
On-site application
- BITO Carton live storage levels are used for products that are picked in small quantities and have a high turnover rate.
- Items with a small envelope are provided in BITO boltless shelving.
- BITO pallet racks serve as storage area with the buffer stock for the carton live storage lanes.
- For mass-produced items, such as toilet paper or disposable towels, the company uses pallet racking.
