Order picking steams ahead

It is reported that a BITO Storage Systems solution has transformed storage and order picking operations at Spirax Sarco, manufacturer and supplier of components for industrial steam systems.

Every product Spirax Sarco ships around the world is now picked from a storage and order picking system from BITO Storage Solutions. Based on BITO's galvanised racking, the system features pallet rack bulk storage for large parts, 800 x 600mm XL plastic Euro containers on meshed shelving for medium parts and a carton live system for small parts.

The system has been designed to maximise flexibility, health and safety, the number of pick faces, speed of put away and picking, and also to use space effectively. Its modularity allows Spirax Sarco to adapt to future inventory requirements.
