FIFO racks are custom designed inclined gravity flow racks that increases production work flow efficiencies, improve picking efficiency while ensuring ergonomics, achieving Lean Manufacturing flow.
FlowTube is ideal for creating flexible modular gravity fed racking and FlowTube FlowRacks have many advantages when compared with other flow rack systems:
Customisable: FlowTube FlowRacks can be designed to perfectly fit inventory and functional requirements. This means that ergonomics, footprint and other variables can be optimised.
Adjustable: Like all FlowTube structures, flow racks can be modified quickly, easily and without special tools. This is ideal if inventory sizes or requirements change.
Modular: FlowTube FlowRacks can be fully integrated with other FlowTube structures including Workstations and Assembly Lines.
Mobile: Flow racks can be fitted with casters so that they can be moved.
Lean: Lean manufacturing principles are supported as the flow racks can be continuously improved and integrated with other Lean systems.
ESD Compatible: FlowTube FlowRacks can be designed and built to be ESD compatible, by selecting ESD coated tubes and accessories.
Colours & Finishes: FlowTube is available in a variety of colours to fit in with a visual management scheme. It is also available in stainless steel for an improved strength to weight ratio.
FlowTube is an excellent way to integrate gravity racking into any process. A flow racking system can dramatically improve picking efficiency, ergonomics and inventory movement, particularly when trying to achieve Lean Manufacturing flow.
