The BITO Solution
- BITO Carton live storage with widespan framework
» BITO installs FLEX carton flow racks at the automotive supplier’s plant.
- Brake rollers
» The flow shelves for storing heavy loads are equipped with brake rollers to allow for a safe and smooth speed of descent toward the flow shelf front.
- Stackable BITO trays
» The sturdy plastic trays provide a secure base for item parts and components.
On-site application
- The automotive supplier provides small parts in BITOBOX KLT containers stored in flow racks.
- The flow shelves for light-weight loads have been mounted with a stronger gradient.
- Parts and components needed for the same assembly unit are stored on the same flow level. In order to be able to store heavy loads on the same level as the lightweight trays or containers, the flow levels have been equipped with brake rollers to slow down travel speed to the picking face and prevent potential dropping.
Customer benefits
- The FIFO solution ensures constant product availability at the picking face on any one level.
- Optimum use of storage space with stackable trays.
- All required assembly parts are stored in a neat, clean and organised way thanks to the system’s high degree of flexibility and configurability.
