Characteristics
Dependent on the type of goods, operational capacity and available picking time, a combination of two existing systems often provides an economic solution.
Best example: Order picking platforms, i.e. a combination of shelving and storage platform.
This multi-tier construction has the main advantage of operators being able to retrieve stored goods on several levels simultaneously.
Application
Order picking platforms incorporate the upper levels into the order picking zone. The utilisation of vertical order pickers is therefore not required.
Operation
Hand pallet trucks and electric fork lift trucks support the order picking process. Chutes or conveyor belts take goods to the ground floor. The racking is fed from the outside with fork lift trucks.
Advantages
- Optimum space utilisation
- Short order picking routes
