How to design a pick module: TriFactor, a Florida material handling systems integrator, offers order picking white paper
Your mission: Decrease labor costs, increase throughput rates and use the available floor space in your facility more efficiently. You also have to accommodate an increase in the number of SKUs (stock keeping units) and sales volume, all while giving your customers what they want accurately, efficiently, and as fast as possible. This mission is very possible by using a properly designed pick module in your distribution center. Designing an efficient pick module requires analyzing SKU information, assessing the building’s characteristics, identifying the proper picking technologies and methodologies, and complying with building codes; all while considering future growth demands.
