Pick modules are an ideal choice for storage and picking in high throughput environments due to their ability to organize and manage a large variety of product in high volumes. Pick modules are multi-level racking structures with a conveyor running through them; this conveyor helps to move products from picking areas to shipping areas. Pick Modules are typically used in SKU environments that require a high volume of carton and each picks. Replenishing SKU’s is performed with the use of a lift truck from the outside aisles of the rack structure and may involve the use of pallet flow lanes.
Pick modules are typically large and complex structures that facilitate the storage and easy retrieval of products and goods. These units are a combination of basic pallet racking components like uprights and beams, and sub-components like carton flow racking, pallet flow racking, various forms of shelving, and conveyors. These uprights and beams give the unit structural support, whereas sub-components facilitate the movement of products and maintain inventory control.
Pick module systems can be customized depending on your facility and the storage requirements it will be required to handle. Due to pick modules being a combination of different components, as warehouse storage requirements grow, so can your pick module. Given that these systems are incredibly efficient, they can be utilized in many different industries. From automotive parts to health care to pharmaceuticals, warehouses that store large amounts of SKU’s and ship them out quickly can benefit greatly from pick modules.
Pick modules are an extremely helpful and efficient addition to warehouse storage facilities requiring “carton” and “piece” picking of products.
