Selective Pallet Rack Pick Module are versatile storage solution in both usage and future warehouse restructuring. Items will be stored in a more organized way to help maximize warehouse space. This style provides an effective solution that creates maximum order picking efficiency and increases SKU density both quickly and accurately. Pick modules have a broad range of configurations based on the requirements of the application. Therefore, this can also include other products like conveyor, pallet racking, and more.
Selective pallet racking is one of the most popular types of pallet racking. Aside from maximizing storage space there is a lot of benefits when choosing this style of racking. Selective pallet racking is an excellent choice for anybody who needs quick and easy access to their inventory and materials. The bays are typically one-rack deep, providing easy access to pallets from both sides of the rack.
Used Pick Modules have a variety of different configurations to meet the requirements of a range of industries. Some of the basic components of a pick module include pallet racks, mezzanines, and conveyors. They help to create a safer working environment, while also reducing worker fatigue. By reducing the fatigue of employees, a business can increase the output of orders. Customer orders will be promptly delivered to packing and shipping areas, increasing accuracy and processing speed.
Let's define the situation with an example of a warehouse that has not installed a pick module.
The warehouse receives an order. Pickers are given instructions and picking locations and they immediately rush to fill the order sheet. Usually, this requires the pickers to walk for miles all across your warehouse searching the racks for the items on their order sheet. This process can be tedious and time consuming, and time is money. The longer it takes to pick orders, the more it costs to process the order. Additionally, the laborious process of traveling to each pick location and seeking the individual items from their order sheet combined with the stress of strict time limits introduces an increased risk of errors in the picking process, leading to customers receiving late or incorrect orders, leading to further time and labor costs piled on top of an already inefficient system.
A pick module relieves your picking crew of the hassle of walking from picking point to picking point around your warehouse to locate items on their order sheets and helps enforce error correction before orders are shipped. At the picking area, a picker gathers conveyorable items near their station to fulfill their assigned order sheet. Once an order has been picked, it's sent down a powered conveyor line to the race loop, where it waits for a final review by the packing team. Once the packing team confirms the accuracy of the picked order, it can be packed and sent further down the line to a set of shipping lanes to be delivered to the appropriate carrier. Incorrect orders can be sent down the recirculation line and back to the picking area for correction.
Pick Modules ensure a variety of advantages for warehouses and distribution centers. These structures are strategically engineered to optimize the speed at which stored product becomes a picked & shipped order, which results in a satisfied, repeat customer. A Pick Module streamlines the whole picking procedure, reducing picker fatigue and time needed to locate items, making way for flawless and timely delivery of orders.
