Rotation of Inventory
Inside Storage Racks
Current System:
Specs: Racks have capacity to hold 12 pallets in lower level and 12 pallets in upper level. In order to pull product from upper level, product from lower level has to be pulled first. (Not efficient). Full pallet of product weight ranges from 1,000 lbs. to 2,100 lbs.
Issue 1: In order to keep rotation, users have to rotate product. New product in back, Old product in the front. Users also consolidate racks.
Issue 2: Order calls for product that is on upper level. User needs to pull product in lower level to get to upper level. Blocks passageway, takes longer to load.
Desired System:
Storage racks have the ability to auto rotate product from upper level to lower level and also from rack to rack. Organize sku’s and Harvest Dates.
When Order getting pulled. Have entire order automatically pulled to 1 designated area (Rack) for loader to grab.
