Small Parts (Piece Picking)

When storing small parts, we recommend using VBM, VLM, and VCM Boxes from Kardex. Combined with our automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), they help organize your inventory and maximize storage capacity. The boxes are made of durable and robust plastic. They are reusable, easy to clean, and water/chemical resistant.

Individually configurable for different items, the boxes are flexible in size. With various heights, widths, and depths, they offer a hundred location types and organized storage. They fit exactly into the storage system for maximum storage density and better organization. If necessary, the boxes can be further subdivided to create the exact storage locations your operations require.

When storing single items, using bins is particularly appropriate as they ensure high storage density, and an efficient material flow. They organize inventory and support the operators to find the right parts simply and quickly, while speeding the overall picking time and increasing throughput. Kardex solutions enable you to store and automatically convey your goods flexibly in bins and systems tailored to your needs.

When it comes to goods delivered in cartons or boxes, storing them directly as they arrive, without repackaging, can save labor resources. For easy split-case picking, in some cases, items can be kept in their original carton, box or case and stored within the ASRS. Using automated systems with a conveying connection it can also be possible to transport the carton, box, or cases to the storage system automatically.
