Automatic Warehouse Pick Module System For High Efficient Storage
and Retrieval
Pick module system or warehouse picking module is a multi-level
technical system consisting of various storage media designed to
move SKUs throughout the execution operation.
By checking the total number of SKUs in the warehouse and analyzing
the slow, medium, and fast movements, you can determine the perfect
combination of storage media in order to allocate each SKU to its
optimal position.
For efficient picking operations, picking module systems use a
combination of static shelving, tilting shelving, high-density
storage, carton flow, pallet flow, and conveyors. The correct
implementation of these solutions maximizes the efficiency of order
picking and increases SKU density.
Main components of warehouse pick modules
Components | Working method | Functions |
Selective pallet rack | Basic storage units | Cost-saving with adjustability |
Push back pallet rack | Large palletized loads | High-density storage with efficient retrieval |
Carton flow pallet rack | Small items in cartons and boxes | Fast turnover with many picking faces |
Mezzanine rack | Structural support and Storage | Maximized space utilization |
Shelving system | Basic storage units for various products | Flexible and easy accessibility |
Pallet flow rack system | High throughput items storage and retrieval | Gravity-driven and energy-saving |
Conveyors | Product transport and delivery | Time-saving and labor-saving |
Pick module systems are strategically designed to improve the
overall performance of the order processing operation. An efficient
picking module is designed to optimize the cubic space of the
warehouse and minimize the time it takes for order pickers to
search and pick SKUs to fulfill orders.
The ultimate goal of any fulfillment operation is to increase speed
while reducing costs, and a well-designed warehouse order
preparation module is key to achieving this goal.
Applications of Pick Module Systems:
- Beer, wine, and liquor distribution
Advantages of Pick Module Systems:
- You can rotate your stock by means of a first-come, first-served
approach. By replenishing stock at the loading end, your preparers
always present the products in the order you want them.
- You can save space. Serious space. In a pallet picking operation,
you will save around 35% of the typical application 6 deep. If you
choose cardboard boxes or totes, you save even more than if you put
them on racks. Save space by postponing a move to a larger facility
or the need for a complete refurbishment, as the picking module
frees up floor space for other uses. The more vertical cubes you
use, the more space you save.
- You can reduce labor costs. It's easy to see that when you
centralize storage and order preparation operations, you eliminate
unproductive 'run' time. Order preparation staff spend more time
preparing orders each day rather than walking. This can
significantly reduce the time spent searching and browsing through
selectors.
- You can replenish stock more easily. When you centralize your
picking operations, you can centralize your stock, whether it's
pallets or cartons, directly in the system.
