Custom Flow Racks

Some of the challenges in manufacturing and production are controlling inventory, unnecessary movement, space, and efficiency. Flow racks are designed to move parts using gravity, in the order they are received commonly referred to as FIFO, first in first out. Flow racks offer an ideal solution for any company looking to optimize their assembly layout, component part inventory, and ergonomic efficiencies.
Flow racks are extremely efficient and support process improvement methods including:
•             FIFO
•             Kaizen
•             Parts Supermarket
•             Sub-Assembly
•             Transportation
