Alt Tag: Pallet flow racks in a warehouse
Warehouse and distribution centers have been some of the businesses most affected by the shift to online ordering for immediate delivery. These businesses have had to intelligently upgrade their operations to handle the increased business as online distributors have used improved software to increase the speed and efficiency of their operations.
New Life for the Pallet Flow Rack
One of the most effective tools for handling clients’ orders, particularly smaller orders, is the pallet flow rack. This type of racking system has been in use for many decades in warehouses worldwide. However, it’s becoming even more valuable as online distributors target private home consumers and smaller stores and businesses.
Pallet flow racks make it simple to offer your customers a smaller limit on their orders. Instead of filling an order with multiple full cases of the items you carry, you can open the cases, put the open cases in a pallet flow rack next to other items in their own flow racks and choose single boxes or items from the master cases.
Instead of having a large pallet full of full cases, the customer’s order can consist of several smaller boxes or items in a discarded master case.
Set Up an Efficient Picking Area
Knowing which items move the fastest in your warehouse allows you to design and set up an efficient picking area using pallet flow racks to increase the speed of order picking.
Workers simply pull boxes along a waist-high rolling conveyor line and fill the boxes with items from the pallet flow racks. Your warehouse can have multiple racks for the fastest-moving items and single racks for the slower-moving items.
The conveyors allow the workers to quickly pick all the items on a printout of the customer’s order by simply walking down the line of flow racks. The items in the pallet flow racks are arranged in the same order as the customer’s order. This makes the order picking a quick one-direction task that minimizes wasted movement and allows your warehouse to increase its speed and efficiency.
Increase Your Warehouse’s Capabilities
If you own or manage a bulk shipping warehouse, consider increasing your order-filling capabilities and customer base by installing a picking section of pallet flow racks. Your business will appeal to the many smaller online retailers who need the small-quantity shipping speed and capabilities that these flow racks represent.
