Live storage improves use of space
October 1st 2005

West Midlands pottery warehouse, Utopia has invested in a dynamic storage facility from Bito Storage Systems as a focal point of its improved quality checking and handling procedures.

Specified in order to combat lack of space arising from increased demand, the solution completely changes warehouse operations and includes three areas of dynamic live storage and one of drive-in racking. Now stock arrives on pallets that are immediately placed in pallet live storage lanes ready for quality checking.

The live storage is up to seven pallets deep and allows product to roll forward under the power of gravity to pick faces on the far side of the racking.

Once the products have undergone quality checks, they are packed, palletised and placed in a second live storage area. This holds stock for picking and supply to the factory.

Larger items have a specially designed live storage area.

Order picking of faster moving lines is carried out by taking pallets from the live storage system and placing them in designated slots on the floor.

Slower moving items are picked individually from the racking using a manup order picking truck.

Installation took just three weeks, while the facility was operational.
