In the last blog, we shared the first part of the benefits of combining storage technologies and order assortment, specifically Pick to Light and Horizontal Carousels. This time we will give you the benefits of implementing Horizontal Carousels and Put to Light. Let’s get to it!
Horizontal Carousels with Put to Light
If the industries have operating processes where they do not handle constant flows but products that will only be used once, it is not necessary to assign them a storage position but send them directly to the assortment.
The horizontal carousels function as work stations that send the products directly to distribution without having to carry out all the conventional procedures.
They work as stores in which the containers are filled, to later remove the product and take it to the boarding area. It is important to determine that for this solution to be functional, it must have a finite number of destinations.
Another option where you can use horizontal carousels supported by Put to Light technology is for expensive products. We will have to make a prior evaluation of the use of this solution and the cost-benefit of having a fixed position (with a full pallet of these products), trying to achieve an assortment of items that go directly to store, because there is no stock or spaces within the distribution center.
The combination of horizontal carousels and Put to Light is a solution that helps exponentially with the ROI, and improves the industrial productivity of many companies. Discover what other aspects you should consider when choosing a technology of orders’ assortment.
