PICK MODULES
Pick Modules are engineered racking systems that integrate different
storage solutions inside multi-level work platforms that move product efficiently
through a distribution facility. Distribution centers consisting of hundreds of
thousands of square feet, capable of fulfilling over one hundred thousand orders
per day or processing millions of units in a week, have become commonplace in UNARCO
design. Modules use pallet rack
to support the miles of conveyor and product flow systems, thereby reducing congestion
and costly pick errors.
The idea behind the module is optimum flow efficiency. Palletized loads are moved
by gravity through the system before being broken into cartons and pieces, then
sent to pick areas and finally shipped to the consumer. Technology coupled with
integrated conveyor and sortation systems direct the flow of in-bound product through
the order fulfillment stage.

integration of
Pallet Flow and Push
Back storage to move palletized loads which feed into
Carton Flow units which are often outfitted with special software for paperless
picking. This flow rack concept allows distribution operations to be consolidated
into one facility which handles all of the logistics and has a dramatic effect on
lowering fulfillment costs.
