Case Flow Rack Systems For Warehouses
Depending on the type of goods a warehouse handles and its operational requirements, its storage needs might vary significantly calling for unique solutions. Most industry operators have to deal with very high Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) counts and therefore require specific storage systems.
Gauer Metal Products, Inc. has carved out a niche for manufacturing case flow for warehouses to meet diverse needs across the board. We have the skillset and expertise to design solutions that optimize available space, drive efficiency, and improve the functionality of your warehouse.
Benefits of Case Flow Rack Systems for Warehouses
Case flow rack systems offer unique benefits for warehouses, making them a superior choice in a wide array of scenarios. They incorporate a natural inventory rotation method (First-In, First-Out), which is ideal for warehouses handling date-sensitive products, items with batch numbers, and perishable goods.
This type of rack system minimizes aisle space while maximizing vertical space when dealing with boxes or totes. It is therefore ideal for operations where space is an issue.
Thanks to the use of clearly marked lanes, it is relatively easy to locate and retrieve items. The system therefore improves order accuracy because it presents items in an organized and consistent manner, minimizing picking errors.
Case-based systems use a gravity-driven mechanism where items are automatically replaced after picking. In addition to reducing the need for physical searches and manual handling, this system cuts down on labor costs. This mechanism is also very useful for high-volume order fulfillment when using “pick-to-voice” or “pick-to-light” systems.
Applications in Warehouses
Here are some of the practical ways in which case flow racks are addressing major pain points in warehousing:
eCommerce Storage Solutions
Organizing high-turnover SKUs is particularly challenging, but with these systems in place, picking required items and packing individual orders is a lot easier. The gravity-based design reduces travel time and gives pickers consistent product flow, improving order fulfillment rates.
Buffer Stock Management
Warehouses that store buffer stock benefit considerably from case flow racks. In addition to getting easy access to items in storage, the FIFO method allows for easy stock management.
Assembly Line Support
For manufacturing warehouses, these racks are easy to integrate into assembly lines for a continuous flow of components to workstations. Its gravity-based operation reduces the need for manual laborers and physical handling. It also minimizes processing times by reducing downtime.
