Efficient and Dynamic Storage Solution
Carton live shelving, also known as dynamic shelving or gravity flow racking, is a specialised storage system designed for efficient order picking and stock rotation of cartons, boxes, or totes. It utilises gravity to facilitate the movement of products from the loading end of the shelf to the picking end, ensuring a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management system. Carton live shelving is commonly used in warehouses, distribution centres, and order fulfilment operations to streamline picking processes and optimise storage density.
Carton live shelving consists of inclined roller tracks or lanes that are mounted within a shelving structure. The inclined lanes create a gentle slope from the loading end to the picking end of the shelves. Each lane is designed to hold individual cartons or boxes, and products are placed at the higher end of the lane, allowing them to flow down towards the picking end by gravity.
The inclined roller tracks provide a smooth and controlled flow of cartons, enabling order pickers to easily access the products at the picking end. As one carton is removed, the next one in line moves forward to the picking position, ensuring a continuous and efficient picking process. Carton live shelving can be integrated with other storage systems, such as conventional shelving or pallet racking, to create a comprehensive and versatile storage solution.
Carton live shelving is specifically designed to optimize order picking processes. By utilising gravity, the system ensures a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory flow. This means that the oldest stock is automatically presented at the picking face, reducing the need for manual sorting and improving order accuracy and efficiency.
Carton live shelving maximises the use of available space within your facility. With its inclined shelves and dynamic flow system, you can achieve high-density storage without sacrificing accessibility. This allows you to store a larger quantity of products in a smaller footprint, making efficient use of your warehouse or storage area.
With carton live shelving, your order pickers can work more efficiently and productively. The constant flow of cartons to the picking face eliminates the need for pickers to search or reach for items, reducing picking time and improving overall productivity. This enables your team to fulfil orders quickly and accurately, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Carton live shelving offers enhanced inventory control and visibility. The dynamic flow system ensures proper stock rotation, reducing the risk of product expiration or obsolescence. Additionally, the clear visibility of products on the shelves allows for easy inventory monitoring and restocking, minimising stockouts and improving inventory accuracy.
