36 Best Practices
Front of the warehouse: conveyor
circuit and transfer car
In this area, the inputs and outputs of palletized goods are produced automatically
via a conveyor circuit that directs the pallets
from its origin to its destination. Thereby,
the load units move swiftly, without any human intervention and reducing any logistics
errors.
The operator only must place the palletized
goods in the entry of the circuit or remove
them at the exit with the help of a counterbalanced forklift.
The goods input area has a checkpoint
whose role is to check that the dimensions,
weight and status of the pallets meet the
specifications of the installation.
The goods that do not pass inspection go to
the rejects conveyor, which is placed exactly
in parallel, for refurbishment.
A transfer car links
the racking area
with the conveyors
for incoming and outgoing
palletized goods
