Storage solution that keeps the wine flowing September 1st 2007 At the Gloucester-based UK
distribution centre for Direct
Wines, Linpac Storage
Systems has installed a
combination of very narrow aisle
racking for bulk stock and specially
designed shelving for picking areas.
The company had previously
manufactured and installed
equipment at Direct Wines'
warehouse in Theale.
At the Gloucester distribution
centre, there are several areas
dedicated to picking – pick to light,
pick to voice and two step picking.
In the pick to light area, Linpac has
installed pallet racking with carton
live beds. Longspace shelving is
used in the pick to voice area, with
tilted mesh decks for the speciality
wines and carton live beds with
upward sloping picking trays for
the more popular brands. At the
pick face, these trays present the
opened cases of bottles to the
picker at a convenient angle. More articles from LINPAC Storage Systems Limited: |
