Initial situation and customer requirements
- On the Brebieres site, the goods pass by container and arrive folded and grouped in boxes.
- The retail preparation area dedicated to medium rotation items had to be reorganized.
- The objective was to optimize picking operations by limiting travel and to facilitate replenishment of this area.
Some impressions of our customer solution
Project brief
The BITO Solution
» It was decided to accommodate the stock of articles with an average rotation frequency in dynamic packages with an attractive investment / profitability ratio and numerous possibilities for adaptation. The boxes of textile articles come in various sizes. For this reason, it had to be possible to adapt shelf spacing easily and without tools, not only to optimise the available space as much as possible, but also to avoid wasting time reconfiguring the layout.
On-site application and key features of our storage solution
- Carton live shelving of the SDS range makes maximum use of the available storage space while guaranteeing very good working conditions for operators. With the boxes moving from rear to front by gravity, all contents are presented on the front of the flow shelves, which naturally facilitates picking. The articles are always available without the order pickers having to search for them at the back of the shelving. Picking performance is increased and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders is virtually eliminated.
Customer benefits
In what way has the BITO solution helped our customer to realise their full potential?
- As expected,
“BITO Carton live storage has enabled us to optimise our picking areas for medium turnover products. We are planning to install additional racking runs.”
