Buffering & Sequencing Solutions
Discover how Kardex automated solutions enable space-saving and efficient buffering and sequencing processes. Improve space utilization, reduce packing and shipping downtime, and increase productivity with our cost-effective systems.
Warehouse and production operations use buffer systems when their processes include a wait or hold step, their material handling process requires reserve inventory to manage fluctuating demands, or when they require a quick and accurate order consolidation before packing or shipping. Kardex offers scalable and flexible solutions that reduce operator search time, save floor space, and ensure that goods are always available at the right time.
