They installed twenty-four pallet flow channels with rollers on the first level of racks
where picking of higher consumption ‘A’
type products is done. Each channel, that
coincides with the ground floor, can house
up to three reserve pallets.
Next to that, a picking station has been set
up in the shape of a ‘U’ for products with
medium and low turnover (B and C).
On both sides of the picking station they
have placed two vertical Clasimat warehouses intended to store high value C;type
products (liquors, high-end wines, cognacs, etc.).
Plus, they have raised conventional pallet
racks where the most consumed products
(B type) are placed.
Preparing orders: steps to follow
1. The first operator, assisted by a pallet
truck and a computer terminal, takes a
pallet and goes along the dynamic channels to do picking of A type products.
2. Then, they move toward the convention-
al pallet racks to take the B type prod-
ucts. Once finished, they leave the pal-
let in the order fulfillment area, located
just behind the picking station and the
Clasimats.
3.The operator who mans this station
prepares waves of five orders at the same
time. They are responsible for putting
together and finishing the orders by filling
the pallet with the picking of all the B and
C type products, including those from the
Clasimat.
4. Once the orders are completed, the operator moves the pallets to the area reserved for replenishment, after passing by
the baler machine. This area is located in
the old building, situated at the side of the
new warehouse.
