First in, first out stock rotation
June 1st 2007 Automative component
manufacturer FCC Europe
has improved small
component picking
efficiency and first in, first
out stock rotation at its
factory through the
introduction of dynamic live
picking based around fullwidth
roller Span Track
modules from The Live
Storage Company.
The frame for the
installation was created by
The Live Storage Company
using standard racking
components. The company
then supplied and fitted the
Span Track units in
predetermined lengths and
widths matched to the
dimensions of the frame
and the size of the boxes
containing the springs.
The units were dropped
into position, supported by
the beams, to create a
picking face with the
maximum possible density.
Vertical spacing was
matched to the height of
the boxes so that the
maximum number of
picking points could be
installed in the face. Units
are manufactured from
tempered aluminium rollers
with full length axles
mounted on durable
galvanised steel side
channels, making them
robust. The Live Storage
Company provides
consulting, installation and
engineering support
services to ensure
maximum return on storage
investments. More articles from The Live Storage Company Limited: |
