The distribution world is evolving, with an increasing focus on maximizing vertical space. Distribution centers are constantly seeking the most efficient ways to pick orders while minimizing the amount of square footage used. One of the most effective solutions is the use of pick modules.
Pick modules can range from simple, two-level shelving systems to large, complex, multi-level pallet racking structures equipped with integrated conveyor systems. These engineered racking systems bring together various storage solutions within multi-level work platforms, allowing for the efficient movement of products throughout a distribution facility. By utilizing the vertical space in a smart and organized way, pick modules improve order picking efficiency while optimizing available floor space.
Storage products and components typically found within pick modules may include:
- – Selective pallet racking
- – Shelving
- – Pallet flow
- – Push back
- – Carton flow
- – Conveyor systems
