Gravity kanban racks

Modern production and assembly lines require the supply of semi-finished products in as short a time and as automated as possible. Consequently, implementing a FIFO (First-in, First-out) stock management strategy is ideal.

Pauses or disruptions in the production process lead to high costs. In addition, they decrease the company’s production capacity.

Kanban racks comprise lightweight components that operators can handle and assemble quickly.

Operators can configure the Kanban shelving system from 1 mm or 2 mm profiles with a diameter of 28 mm.

These profiles can make straight shelves to become a goods’ storage area. Inclined shelves can find use in production or assembly areas.

Advantages:

Higher stock capacity than standard shelves. Kanban shelves can be a little deeper, with older stock moving forward and replenishment from the back of the shelf.
It incorporates all required equipment in an ergonomic and efficient manner: materials, tools, etc.
It can be designed to store or move awkwardly sized products to narrow aisles between shelving.
It does not need electrical power. The stock moves forward due to inclined roller tracks and gravity.
It does not need training for employees to use or install a tubular shelf. Operators can mount it on castor wheels for mobility.
Customizable and flexible. It adapts to new requirements without special tools, supporting lean manufacturing principles.
For ESD requirements or high-hygiene solutions for clean-rooms, coated pipes are available.
Different colors are available for tubes to fit a specific visual management scheme.
They have a quick assembly process.
Safety through the use of protective edges and braking systems.
It integrates with other logistics applications, such as conveyors.
