Carton Flow
Order picking and Lean manufacturing environments demand easy and constant access to materials, with a minimum amount of travel time. One solution for these demands is to use carton flow tracks. Storage Systems Midwest, Inc. designs picking systems using flow tracks that are modular, mobile, flexible, and affordable. It is possible to reduce travel time by 30% or more by using a picking system optimized with carton flow. Combining this solution with conveyor and pick to light technology yields large increases in pick rates.
- FIFO inventory management
- Presentation of a large amount of SKUs in small space
- Lean manufacturing
- Separates picking vs. replenishment
- Allows for dynamic slotting of parts

Pallet Flow
Pallet Flow Racking is recommended where a FIFO (first-in-first-out) system of product rotation is necessary and there are several pallets of the same SKU. Using this storage concept it is possible to ensure product rotation within a lane, facilitate high speed picking, increase storage density, and minimize the number of aisles required in a facility.
