A specialised storage system designed for efficient order picking of cartons.
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.
How Carton Live Shelving works?
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.
Increased Picking Efficiency
Items are always available at the front of the shelf, reducing the time pickers spend searching or reaching. First-in, first-out (FIFO) stock rotation is automatic, helping with inventory freshness and accuracy.
Space Optimization
Maximizes vertical and horizontal space by condensing storage and minimizing walking distances. Higher density than static shelving, allowing more product in less space.
Improved Inventory Management
FIFO ensures older stock is picked first, reducing waste or spoilage (especially important for perishable goods). Easier stock level visibility and monitoring.
