Advanced Warehouse Solutions

The AWS product range in the Dynamic Storage Business Unit is classified into 2 families: Pallet Flow and Carton Flow. Both families contain the specific product "Roller Flow" and "Wheel Flow". In addition, Pallet Flow includes the product "Cart Pushback".

Flow storage systems are space saving and compact- there are no intermediate aisles, but only one input and one output aisle. All products are available by the shortest route in one aisle. It is the fastest and most cost-effective distribution system for assorted products. Flow storage provides simple, structured stock control with unlimited flexibility and tailor made design and layout.
A conventional system needs double as much space and more aisles, meaning 7 to 8 times longer travel routes for the operators. Consequently, more forklift truck drivers are needed and retrieval and dispatch takes much more time.

Advantages:

In FIFO configuration (First-In-First-Out), the pallets are loaded in the gravity lanes on the entry side (the highest point). The slope then carries the pallets from the loading point to the retrieval point. When a pallet is unloaded, the next pallet automatically takes its place thereby ensuring that the goods are constantly available.
FIFO stock management guarantees stock rotation as the first pallet to be loaded in a lane is the first pallet available at the picking face on the retrieval side.
This management method is particularly efficient for perishable goods.
