SK Daifuku Patent Takes Workers Out Of Harm's Way
Shelf Storage and Picking System Brings Inventory to Pickers More Efficiently and Safely
SALT LAKE CITY, UT - SK Daifuku has a new answer to material handling questions posed by operations that need to fit a large amount of inventory into a small space without the luxury of building vertically. The Shelf Storage and Picking System developed by SK Daifuku engineer Cris Stevens brings a large number of SKUs to pickers in a fast and reliable manner that rivals the speed of carousels when batch picking while allowing for the maximum amount of storage in a small space.
The Shelf Storage and Picking System works by presenting two sets of shelves at a time to pickers. In a small area, such as a freezer, the shelves allow for the densest possible storage of product. Shelving units are designed to take up the allotted space so there's more efficiency in storage. Pickers work from a pick area located outside the harsh environments where product may be stored, while shelves rotate to display the available inventory. The system can be used to fill a batch of orders in the most efficient manner possible.
"The Shelf Storage and Picking System is an ideal solution for freezer storage because it removes the workers from the harsh environment," says Cris Stevens, SK Daifuku's engineer. "But this system will be a solution for any type of operation that may have limited space because it offers so many advantages."
Not only does this innovative system separate workers from harsh and potentially unsafe environments, but it is also ergonomically beneficial by presenting the product to the pickers without wasting time and energy walking through aisles. The Shelf Storage and Picking System also maintains First In First Out (FIFO) control better than manual systems, while keeping inventory safe from potential theft or damage.
SK Daifuku offers another innovative solution to help warehousing and distribution operations run more efficiently with the Shelf Storage and Picking system. Developed by SK Daifuku engineers, this system offers the quality you expect from the leading name in the material handling industry.
