Starting point and customer requirements

- The company wanted to streamline material supply and reduce production time.
- In the past, a lot of time was spent looking for and retrieving materials for production.

The BITO Solution

- Efficient material supply
» Pallet racking with flow shelves at operator reach height, perfect for supplying items at workplaces or along product lines. With each lane being assigned to a specific item, all items are neatly presented and can be conveniently picked in FIFO order.
- Separate filling / picking
» The feed-through shelves are filled with items from the back. The items are stored in boxes that slide on plastic rollers over to the opposite side where they can be picked up as needed.
- Practical BITO SK "storage bin drawers”
» Designed for organized storage and ergonomic picking.

On-site application

- BITO racks are located adjacent to the production line and provide about 40 workstations with materials.
- Hydroware has a total of 360 flow shelves with space for 3,600 SK storage bins.
