Application

When does a carton flow make sense?

When you pick orders by case or piece with many fast-moving SKUs, as in retail, e-commerce or assembly line supply.

Replenishment from behindPickers don't cross paths with replenishers.
FIFO by caseThe first case in is the first one out.
Less travelMore SKUs at the front in fewer linear meters.
ErgonomicsPicking levels at the right height.

Frequently asked questions

Which boxes work in carton flow?

Boxes and containers with a firm, flat bottom. We review your packaging during the assessment.

Can it be integrated with my current rack?

In many cases yes, on the picking levels, after validating loads and heights.

How is it replenished?

From the rear aisle, without interrupting front picking.

Carton flow or shelving?

Carton flow for fast-moving SKUs; shelving for slow-moving items and greater variety.
