Latest Trends in Storage Equipment
1. Customized Pallet Rack Systems: Pick Modules Hold The Key To Expansion

Cardinal Materials Flow designed the floor plan, and Steel King planned the components for the new, customized pick modules using pallet rack components and a customized conveyor system. Using their pick module design, the companies were able to personalize their pick module design to accommodate the building’s structure and make sure they did not affect the module’s operation.

This new storage rack system utilizes the use of space and manpower the maximum possible. Once orders are entered into the system, the creation of a carton with an applied bar code at the front end is the first step. The carton is then routed to each zone necessary for the order, and at each zone, the picker scans the carton. Upon receipt of the scan, the system sends the voice instructions to the picker, listing the items to be picked and added to the carton. Upon the placement of items into the carton, the carton is put back on the power take-away conveyor, and it is directed to the next zone or module. Orders that are completed are sent to the shipping dock.

2. Mobile Storage Unit Patented by Material Handling Equipment Distributor

Ergonomic Solutions is a distributor of material handling equipments. It has developed and patented the SmartPick Storage System, an automated mobile storage unit. The SmartPick Storage System is an automated storage and retrieval system that offers dense storage with 100% accessibility.

According to Ergonomic sources, they have built an automated mobile storage unit that solves all the typical storage issues. For example, SmartPick can automatically move one or a group of storage racks so as to give the picking crane access to products stored on standard pallets.
