Pallet<br />
Types<br />
& Footprints<br />
Plastic pallets with “feet” are gaining<br />
greater acceptance within industry.<br />
Reliable flow of these pallets can be a<br />
challenge. INTERROLL has achieved<br />
positive results using our Logix 4000<br />
wide roller based flow system.<br />
Pallets with full-length runners in the direction<br />
of flow move freely using INTERROLL<br />
narrow or wide roller conveyor. Pallet<br />
guidance is a desirable feature provided<br />
by use of rollers with built-in flanges.<br />
“Cross-way” pallets have bottom boards<br />
perpendicular to the direction of flow. The<br />
Logix 2000 polycarbonate wheel conveyor<br />
was specifically designed to convey pallets<br />
of this type...even when some bottom<br />
boards are warped or broken.<br />
Slave pallets are used <strong>for</strong> carrying nonconveyable<br />
items such as sacks, drums,<br />
bales, etc. Plywood material is generally<br />
used. INTERROLL’s wheel or roller<br />
conveyors can be used, depending upon<br />
pallet load.<br />
Lightly-loaded plywood pallets are easily<br />
conveyed on steel wheel conveyor.<br />
However heavily loaded plywood pallets<br />
and foam plastic pallets both require<br />
greater support. Use of Logix 4000 wide<br />
roller conveyor is recommended <strong>for</strong> these<br />
applications.<br />
Wire Baskets, skid boxes and other factory<br />
containers are generally conveyed using<br />
rugged roller conveyor. Runners on these<br />
containers tend to be “slippery” and the<br />
use of lagged or knurled brake rollers is<br />
recommended.<br />

The endurance runner<br />
of our flow storage<br />
systems<br />
EXAMPLE: BEST SELLERS<br />
Dedicated areas <strong>for</strong> storage,<br />
transfer and order picking<br />
functions have resulted in<br />
significant improvements in<br />
overall per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
This sophisticated<br />
installation at Allkon<br />
perfectly demonstrates the<br />
space efficiency of our flow<br />
storage systems.<br />
Out of a total area of<br />
247,500 square feet, only<br />
16% is used <strong>for</strong> the system,<br />
yet provides 45% of the<br />
total warehouse capacity of<br />
6,000 pallets.<br />
This area is reserved <strong>for</strong> fast<br />
moving items. Loading is<br />
accomplished by wireguided<br />
stacker cranes<br />
operating under control<br />
computer control.<br />
Two blocks are provided<br />
with 8 pallet deep buffer<br />
storage lanes to expedite<br />
order picking delivery.<br />
Each day, each operator<br />
handles between 40 and 45<br />
tons, 50% more than in<br />
conventional warehousing.
• Quick moving items.<br />
• 232 order picking points.<br />
• Transfer of complete<br />
pallets directly from<br />
reserve stock.<br />
• Central computer-control<br />
via infrared data link.<br />
• Speedy order picking rate<br />
of 263 containers per<br />
hour per operator.<br />
• No repairs or replacement<br />
of conveyor rollers<br />
needed since 1984.<br />

Mobile energy on call<br />
EXAMPLE: BATTERIES<br />
Everyone has heard of the<br />
compact storage batteries<br />
produced by VARTA. Each<br />
day they start millions of<br />
vehicles. They provide<br />
stored energy to change<br />
dark to light, to keep music<br />
playing and clocks ticking.<br />
Over the years, Varta built<br />
15 decentralized<br />
warehouses but was still<br />
unable to keep up the<br />
steadily increasing demand<br />
<strong>for</strong> their products. What’s<br />
more, their classic paperbased<br />
orderpicking system<br />
was not only prone to error,<br />
it was labor intensive and<br />
time consuming.<br />
Varta decided to establish a<br />
central distribution center.<br />
The center was designed in<br />
anticipation of a future<br />
increase in smaller quantity<br />
shipments of lightweight<br />
packages.<br />
The aim was to increase<br />
throughput while reducing<br />
processing time, with a zero<br />
error rate and utilizing<br />
paperless order picking.<br />
These were ideal<br />
requirements <strong>for</strong> an<br />
INTERROLL flow storage<br />
system. An 8 level reserve<br />
stock, each level having 42<br />
flow storage lanes<br />
containing 10 pallets,<br />
supplies fast moving<br />
products to 4 X 42 threepallet<br />
order picking lanes on<br />
two levels.<br />
This is used exclusively <strong>for</strong><br />
picking full case products.<br />
Pallets are withdrawn<br />
directly from reserve stock.<br />
Individual articles are picked<br />
from the separate Pickflow<br />
open flow system.<br />
Using the First in/First out<br />
(FIFO) principle, articles are<br />
instantly available to Varta<br />
customers in Germany,<br />
Europe and all over the<br />
world.
• Dispatching full pallets,<br />
and picking boxed goods<br />
as well as individual<br />
products.<br />
• Error-free FIFO order<br />

products by using a<br />
computerized, paperless<br />
system.<br />
• Centralization of the<br />
entire Varta stock.<br />
• Extremely short throughput<br />
times <strong>for</strong> urgent<br />
orders.<br />
• Efficient operator activity<br />
in the order picking<br />
zones.<br />
• Up to the minute<br />

Help at hand <strong>–</strong><br />
fast<br />
EXAMPLE: PHARMACEUTICALS<br />
The quality of medical care<br />
in Europe is among the best<br />
in the world. A key reason is<br />
the availability of life-saving<br />
prescription drugs.<br />
Hoffmann La Roche set their<br />
sights on same-day<br />
shipment of all orders<br />
received by 2:30 p.m.<br />
This includes individual<br />
packs as well as complete<br />
cartons. Using paperless<br />
technology, individual packs<br />
are picked from an easily<br />
accessible Pickflow storage<br />
lane, while cartons are<br />
picked - also using a<br />
paperless system - from a<br />
The results have impressed<br />
all concerned:<br />
• Modern distribution<br />
principles <strong>for</strong> fast supply<br />
of orders.<br />
FIFO pallet flow storage<br />
system.<br />
The FIFO principle of the<br />
Pickflow order picking line<br />
and pallet flow storage<br />
system eliminates any<br />
• Special strategies <strong>for</strong><br />
urgent order handling.<br />
• All the advantages of<br />
paperless order picking.<br />
chance of accidental<br />
product mix - which could<br />
have serious consequences.<br />
In conjunction with central<br />
computer control, this<br />
improves order picking<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance by up to 100%.<br />
• Ergonomically optimized<br />
Pickflow storage lanes.<br />
• Precision control system<br />
eliminates order errors.
Small, but flexible<br />
EXAMPLE: FOOD<br />
This relatively small,<br />
compact flow storage<br />
system with 860 pallet<br />
positions can accommodate<br />
several types of pallets.<br />
Pallets are stored in rows of<br />
two in the flow storage lanes<br />
on both sides of the picking<br />
tunnel.<br />
Reserve stock is stored<br />
overhead in reverse flow<br />
lanes on two levels. An<br />
extra feature is the two<br />
insertion lanes to the left<br />
and right, each<br />
accommodating a row of<br />
two pallets positions.<br />
This allows Tengelmann to<br />
maximize space and<br />
improve utilization of the<br />
flow storage system.<br />
• Paired arrival of halfpallets<br />
at the removal<br />
point.<br />
• 2 input lanes with doublespaces<br />
provide a flexible<br />
reserve.<br />
• Integration of 2 zeropressure<br />
accumulation<br />
conveyors in the<br />
receiving area <strong>for</strong> optimal<br />
material flow.<br />

My home is my garden<br />
EXAMPLE: SEEDS<br />
In addition to 2,000 types of<br />
seeds sold through more<br />
than 18,000 outlets, an<br />
additional 800 types of<br />
flower bulbs, various garden<br />
aids, grass seed and<br />
fertilizers also have to be<br />
stored.<br />
In the 1995/96 season this<br />
added up to 700 tons of<br />
grass seed, 13 million packs<br />
of flower bulbs and 1,000<br />
tons of onion seedlings -<br />
these huge quantities<br />
required special<br />
organization.<br />
Previously, production,<br />
storage and shipment had<br />
been spread out to three<br />
different sites in Solingen,<br />
with a fourth being rented<br />
during peak season.<br />
This warehousing situation -<br />
which was inconvenient and<br />
inadequate - was made<br />
even more difficult with the<br />
opening of the East/West<br />
German border.<br />
An entirely new facility was<br />
constructed.<br />
The new distribution center<br />
now has a total of 215,200<br />
square feet of space on two<br />
levels.<br />
The lower level is reserved<br />
<strong>for</strong> receiving, seed filling and<br />
the high-bay warehouse<br />
with 9,000 pallet positions.<br />
The second level is used <strong>for</strong><br />
picking flower bulbs, grass<br />
seed and fertilizers from a<br />
flow storage system with<br />
1,359 lanes and 3,635 pallet<br />
positions.<br />
All unsold items are returned<br />
to Solingen at the end of the<br />
season and put back into<br />
stock.<br />
This is a service provided by<br />
Flora Frey to guarantee that<br />
only available seeds were<br />
offered.<br />
The INTERROLL flow<br />
storage system is divided<br />
into two blocks, maximizing<br />
use of the full warehouse<br />
clearance of 24.5 feet, with<br />
a product by product<br />
position of the pallets.<br />
In this way, the operators<br />
have instant access to 1,088<br />
articles during the two<br />
seasonal peaks.
• 600 pallet shipments and<br />
750 order picking<br />
processes daily.<br />
Devoted gardeners need<br />
good service to keep up<br />
with mother nature.<br />
• Increased picking<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance with<br />
improved accessibility <strong>for</strong><br />
the operator.<br />
• Separate FIFO storage of<br />
1,088 different products.<br />
• Host computer and PC<br />

Outsourcing on a large scale<br />
EXAMPLE: DISTRIBUTORS<br />
Knoche & Barth handle the<br />
central distribution of all<br />
Schwarzkopf and Yankee<br />
Polish products.<br />
This requires the handling of<br />
a total of 300 tons daily,<br />
with fluctuations of 50% to<br />
150% to be handled by<br />
operators filling orders the<br />
same day received.<br />
Of 17,500 pallet positions,<br />
11,600 flow storage position<br />
and a complex computer<br />
together meet this daily<br />
challenge of logistic<br />
flexibility.<br />
The pallets are stored in 26<br />
feet or 111.5 feet long flow<br />
storage lanes and are<br />
processed in four stages:<br />
full pallets, de-palletized by<br />
robot layer by layer in<br />
original cartons, picked as<br />
full cartons or broken carton<br />
individual articles.<br />
All selections to complete<br />
an order converge at the<br />
packing station where they<br />
are checked and prepared<br />
<strong>for</strong> shipment.<br />
This sophisticated<br />
automated warehousing and<br />
order picking technology is<br />
based on the economical<br />
interplay of intelligent FIFO<br />
hardware and efficient<br />
computer control.
• 12 order picking zones in<br />
six aisles.<br />
• Modular control concept.<br />
Order picking tunnel with overhead pallet reserve and pick-to-belt levels.<br />
• 4 dispatch types are<br />
simultaneously compiled.<br />
• 2,800 flow storage places<br />
in the perishable goods<br />
area alone.<br />
• A master computer<br />
organizes paperless order<br />
picking.<br />
• 800 orders per day with<br />
order fluctuations of 50%<br />
to 150% at a constant<br />

FIFO flow storage works in harmony<br />
with conventional shelving<br />
EXAMPLE: HAULAGE COMPANIES<br />
A new warehouse with<br />
10,300 pallet positions is<br />
used by Denkhaus <strong>for</strong> the<br />
storage and distribution of<br />
well-known electric tools.<br />
There are 4,044 flow storage<br />
positions <strong>for</strong> 156 high<br />
volume, fast moving<br />
products.<br />
Divided into two separate<br />
blocks, the first block used<br />
as a reserve, where 5 pallets<br />
are stored in 39 adjacent<br />
flow storage lanes on 10<br />
levels.<br />
In the second block, 39 flow<br />
storage lanes - on the left<br />
and right of the lower level -<br />
each provide room <strong>for</strong> two<br />
order picking pallets.<br />
Above the order picking<br />
tunnel is the reserve stock<br />
<strong>for</strong> the left hand order<br />
picking lanes. This is<br />
arranged on 8 levels in 39<br />
adjacent flow storage lanes,<br />
each with 6 pallet positions.<br />
• Special roller track <strong>for</strong><br />
disposable pallets with<br />
narrow runners.<br />
• Safety separators<br />
guarantee a defined,<br />
zero-pressure<br />
accumulated end<br />
position of the pallets,<br />
even <strong>for</strong> transfer.<br />
The right-hand removal<br />
points are served from the<br />
first block.<br />
This FIFO process,<br />
combined with a<br />
conventional warehouse,<br />
results in high density and<br />
fast processing.<br />
• Gravity test zone in the<br />
receiving area <strong>for</strong> quality<br />
acceptance of each pallet<br />
used <strong>for</strong> storage.<br />
• Integration of the order<br />

Why INTERROLL<br />
Flow Storage?<br />
Benefits<br />
INTERROLL Flow Storage systems<br />
increase in popularity because of their<br />
ability to be integrated into complex<br />
distribution systems, ensuring an<br />
orderly flow of product.<br />
INTERROLL Flow storage systems<br />
have been in use <strong>for</strong> more than<br />
25 years in industries such as grocery<br />
distribution and cold storage.<br />
In the last five years, flow storage<br />
has gained acceptance in many other<br />
industries. Applications range from<br />
handling pharmaceuticals to automotive<br />
assemblies and everything in<br />
between.<br />
The increased popularity of<br />
INTERROLL systems is due to<br />
rising capital and operating costs of<br />
alternative storage arrangments.<br />
These include cost of land, building<br />
construction, interest charges, inventory<br />
shrinkage, <strong>for</strong>klift cost, labor and<br />
energy costs - all of which can be<br />
substantially reduced by the use of a<br />
well designed flow storage system.<br />
The “first-in/first-out” (FIFO) principle<br />
is an added benefit <strong>for</strong> date sensitive<br />
and perishable goods. INTERROLL<br />
pushback systems provide a low cost<br />
alternative to flow systems when “lastin/first-out”<br />
(LIFO) inventory rotation is<br />
acceptable.<br />
What is Flow Storage?<br />
INTERROLL flow storage systems<br />
consist of two clearly defined elements<br />
— dynamic conveyor components and<br />
the static rack structure. Of the two,<br />
the dynamic components are the<br />
most decisive in determining<br />
whether a system is successful.<br />
These dynamic components consist of<br />
INTERROLL wheel rails or roller beds<br />
set at a decline to move goods by<br />
gravity from the loading face of the<br />
rack to the unloading position. They<br />
are installed into the rack, which is the<br />
support structure <strong>for</strong> the system and is<br />
made of roll <strong>for</strong>med or structural members.<br />
The resulting flow systems are<br />
typically up to 5 pallets high and up to<br />
20 pallets deep <strong>for</strong> flow systems, or<br />
four pallets deep <strong>for</strong> pushback systems.<br />
This means that loads weighing<br />
up to 4,000 pounds can be stored with<br />
extremely high utilization of the building<br />
cubic volume.<br />
Flow Storage Applications<br />
Control of the pallet speed is<br />
critical to the safe operation of<br />
systems. To achieve this, self energized<br />
speed controllers are used.<br />
They are generally spaced one per<br />
pallet position to gently control the<br />
speed of the pallet to less than 60 feet<br />
per minute. INTERROLL has many<br />
unique controllers that provide durable<br />
and reliable speed control in any<br />
application. Line pressure can be<br />
eliminated from the unload position by<br />
pallet separators that are suitable <strong>for</strong><br />
use with either lift trucks or manual<br />
order picking.<br />
Given the wide variety of pallet types<br />
and sizes used in industry, and the<br />
many materials and construction<br />
techniques used, it’s easy to understand<br />
why no “universal” pallet flow<br />
system has been devised. For<br />
example, a lightly-loaded pallet with<br />
a smooth, hard-bottomed plywood<br />
surface rolls easily on inexpensive<br />
wheel conveyor. However if the load<br />
is increased, the wheels will probably<br />
“dig” into the plywood, causing pallet<br />
damage and consequent “hang-ups”<br />
over a period of time. Use of INTER-<br />
ROLL roller conveyor eliminates the<br />
problem by providing better pallet support.<br />
Staggared polycarbonate wheel<br />
conveyor is a better solution <strong>for</strong><br />
wrong-way GMA type pallets. A wide<br />
roller system is ideal <strong>for</strong> plastic<br />
pallets, and bins.<br />
Making the decision on which is the<br />
“best” system to use is sometimes<br />
difficult. However, by relying on<br />
INTERROLL’s experience and<br />
subsequently verifying the selection<br />
by actual pallet testing, users can be<br />
assured IN ADVANCE of obtaining a<br />
system that is both cost effective and<br />
reliable.<br />
Some of the many pallet types currently<br />
being handled on INTERROLL<br />
FLOW Storage Systems are illustrated<br />
in this catalog. If use of other pallet<br />
configurations is being considered,<br />
pallet tests at INTERROLL’s<br />
facility to determine the pitch and<br />
system type are highly recommended.<br />
We will videotape your test results<br />
and make appropriate design recommendations.
Applications<br />
Shown here is a typical manufacturing and<br />
distribution process. Potential flow storage<br />
applications are identified by the shaded<br />
boxes. INTERROLL Flow Storage can<br />
double warehouse capacity while reducing<br />
wasted space by 50%. Flow storage is ideal<br />
<strong>for</strong> raw material receiving/storage, work in<br />
process, buffer storage, finished goods<br />
storage and cross docking applications<br />
Both INTERROLL flow storage and pushback<br />
systems can be combined in order<br />
picking situations where flow storage is<br />
used <strong>for</strong> the primary pick face and pushback<br />
is used <strong>for</strong> secondary storage above.<br />
This eliminates all <strong>for</strong>k lift traffic in the<br />
picking aisles.<br />
The best solution <strong>for</strong> any given application<br />
is normally a combination of several different<br />
storage techniques. In general, flow<br />
storage systems are suited to applications<br />
where the throughput is high and the number<br />
of Stock Keeping Units (SKU’s) is relatively<br />
small. Pushback is ideal where<br />
throughput is lower and there are more<br />
SKU’s.<br />

Wheel Flow was originally developed by INTERROLL specifically <strong>for</strong> handling “crossway” GMA type<br />
pallets without a slave board. The system can be applied using 2, 3, or 4 (or more) tracks <strong>for</strong> 2,000,<br />
3,000, & 4,000 (and higher) pound loads respectively. INTERROLL’s patented tandem speed controller<br />
design and tough polycarbonate wheels make Wheel Flow the most durable and reliable<br />
“crossway” flow storage system available today. Lanes of single row wheels can be used <strong>for</strong> push<br />
lane floor storage. Rugged <strong>for</strong>k lift protectors are also available.<br />

Full Width Speed Control<br />
Underslung Speed Controller<br />
Full Width Roller Flow is the most effective system to handle<br />
“right-way” pallets including 3 stringer skids, Euro pallets, plastic<br />
pallets or special bins. Three rollers sizes (1.9, 2.5 and 3.15 inch<br />
diameter) and convenient spacing allow Roller Flow to be<br />
tailored to suit individual applications.<br />
The rugged roller design uses commercial non-precision<br />
bearings due to heavier loads and low speeds. Stub shafts allow<br />
wide BFR’s without the extra weight and cost of a through shaft.<br />
Rollers can be easily replaced without removing the frame rail.<br />
The speed controller can be a full width roller brake where the<br />
centrifugal brake is mounted inside a roller to provide direct<br />
braking contact. The outer surface of the roller can be knurled or<br />
lagged with rubber lagging to increase the grip on the pallet.<br />
Underslung speed controllers offer an indirect mount <strong>for</strong> a<br />
smooth roller surface <strong>for</strong> pallets or bins that are difficult to flow.<br />

INTERROLL Speed Controllers “govern” the speed of loads<br />
flowing down an incline under gravity. They are not a brake, as<br />
such, but more of a speed governor or controller. When the load is<br />
at rest there is no “braking” action. The braking <strong>for</strong>ce is directly<br />
proportional to the rotational speed of the drum. At low speeds,<br />
internal springs limit the travel of the weighted shoes thereby<br />
reducing the braking <strong>for</strong>ce. Consequently a wide variety of loads<br />
can be speed controlled simply and effectively.<br />
Quantity of speed controllers required per lane is dependant on<br />
the weight of the load and the slope of the incline. Testing of the<br />
palletized loads is the best indicator of the quantity of speed<br />
controllers required <strong>for</strong> a given application. Generally the quantity<br />
is ‘N-1’ where ‘N’ is the number of pallets in the lane. The tandem<br />
speed controller is so effective in controlling speed that generally<br />
only 80% of the regular speed controller quantity is required.<br />

➢ Proven design<br />
➢ Heavy duty construction<br />
➢ Positive lock in the stop position<br />
➢ Choice of manual or automatic<br />
Pallet Separator Deactivated<br />
Pallet Separator Activated<br />
Pallet Separators facilitate the removal of pallets by hand or lift truck. By<br />
holding back the second and all subsequent pallets until the first pallet is<br />
completely removed, the unloading operation becomes both safe and<br />
easy. In the event of fragile loads, shrink-wrapped loads or pallet<br />
overhang, product damage is minimized.<br />
Operation of the pallet separator can be manual or automatic and<br />
requires no external power source. As the first pallet moves into final<br />
position at the discharge end, it actuates a toggle lever mechanism which<br />
raises a stop to prevent the second and all subsequent pallets from<br />
impacting the first load. The stop allows a gap between the first and<br />
second pallet which allows the first pallet to be withdrawn with zero line<br />
pressure acting on it, thus preventing product damage.<br />
When the pallet is removed, the mechanism automatically releases the<br />
next pallet (an operator must release a manual separator) and it in turn,<br />
moves down and starts the whole cycle again. In this manner, one pallet<br />
after another may be removed from the INTERROLL flow lane.

Depending upon total live load in the lane, one or more<br />
separators may be required. For order picking operations<br />
where pallets are unloaded by hand, manual pallet<br />
release is recommended to prevent possible injury to<br />
operating personnel. In such cases a foot operated<br />
“safety” release is used.<br />

When large rolls have to roll on rollers<br />
EXAMPLE: INSULATION<br />
To cope with its growing<br />
range of retail products and<br />
roll material, Sarnafil AG<br />
rented several outside<br />
warehouses.<br />
Separate facilities posed<br />
increasing problems with<br />
order processing times,<br />
handling, and transport.<br />
Costs increased while<br />
efficiency decreased.<br />
Today, 1,200 pallet<br />
positions <strong>for</strong> fast moving<br />
products are located<br />
together in Sarnen.<br />
The facility can store single<br />
Euro-pallets as well as<br />
double pallets handling<br />
oversize roll material.<br />
A secure operational project<br />
with short access times and<br />
all the advantages of FIFO<br />
technology.<br />
• Special solution <strong>for</strong><br />
oversize loads.<br />
• Pallet weights up to 3740<br />
lbs.<br />
• Flow storage lanes<br />
designed to cater to<br />
either individual Europallets<br />
or twin pallets.<br />
• Great operational safety<br />
despite pallet weights.

million wafers every year <strong>for</strong><br />
confectionery and ice cream<br />
manufacturers throughout<br />
Europe.<br />

with the baking peculiarities<br />
of their products require a<br />
high storage capacity.<br />
Wafers just don’t stay flat<br />
EXAMPLE: WAFERS<br />

The problem is that freshly<br />
baked wafers distort<br />
immediately after being<br />
baked and must be stored<br />
<strong>for</strong> 2 to 6 weeks until they<br />
flatten out again.<br />
The company expanded, and<br />
its storage space was<br />
bursting at the seams, but<br />
regional ecology associations<br />
and planning authorities<br />
opposed their request <strong>for</strong> a<br />
high-rise warehouse.<br />
Despite the low overall<br />
height limitation,<br />
INTERROLL was once again<br />
successful in achieving<br />
unmatched levels of high<br />
density storage supported<br />
by an efficient electronic<br />
organization.<br />
This success was rewarded<br />
by the customer ordering an<br />
extension <strong>for</strong> a further 5,300<br />

Short and to the point: well stocked<br />
EXAMPLE: FRESH PRODUCTS<br />
Edeka-Saarstedt has<br />
segregated its fast moving<br />
products in a compact FIFO<br />
storage system.<br />
As these products are<br />
subject to fluctuating<br />
demand, the 1,872 pallets<br />
are distributed in very short<br />
reserve lanes, each with 5 or<br />
6 pallet positions.<br />
Depending on the demand<br />
situation, several flow<br />
storage lanes can be filled<br />
with the same article, or one<br />
lane may contain as little as<br />
2 to 3 pallets, making the<br />
system extremely flexible.<br />
The order picking zone is<br />
separated from the storage<br />
and removal zones, allowing<br />
smooth order picking from<br />
36 double lanes.<br />
Replacement stock is stored<br />
in a flow system in 4<br />
symmetrically arranged<br />
reserve blocks linked with<br />
the order picking zone via<br />
reverse flow roller<br />
conveyors.<br />
The clear separation of<br />
storage, removal and order<br />
picking provides a<br />
significant reduction in<br />
operator activity, increases<br />
order picking per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
by up to 50%, eliminates<br />
waiting times and avoids<br />
accidents.<br />
• Short reserve lanes <strong>for</strong><br />
fluctuating demand.<br />
• Separate storage and<br />
removal zones.<br />
• Four reserve stocks.
As everyone knows, good<br />
wine is traditionally matured<br />
in cool cellars.<br />
The structure erected - or<br />

Alone with a million bottles<br />
EXAMPLE: WINE<br />
Over 1 million bottles of<br />
wine are aged in racks at a<br />
depth of 65 feet below<br />
grade using a total floor<br />
space of only 4300 square<br />
feet.<br />
The whole system is<br />
managed on the FIFO<br />
principle, requiring only one<br />
operator <strong>for</strong> warehouse<br />
control and order picking.<br />
A flow storage system and<br />
two stacker cranes ensure<br />
smooth stacking, storage<br />
and removal of a diverse<br />
variety of wines and<br />
vintages.<br />
The oldest wine moves to<br />
the bottom, while the<br />
youngest is stored at the top<br />
- just the way it should be in<br />
a wine cellar.<br />
• Storage and removal<br />

storage cellar.<br />
• Computerized warehouse<br />
management with just<br />
one operator.<br />
• 160 flow storage lanes <strong>for</strong><br />
2,720 pallets.<br />
• Only 4300 square feet of<br />
floor space.<br />
• Environmentally friendly<br />

Fast access to tasty tid-bits<br />
EXAMPLE: PET FOOD<br />
The fast moving items are<br />
consigned from a flow<br />
storage system on full<br />
pallets.<br />
Slow moving items are<br />
picked from pallets on a<br />
separate flow storage lane.<br />
Both types of pallet are<br />
conveyed by short routes to<br />
the delivery round<br />
preparation area, from<br />
where they move along<br />
short routes to the trucks.<br />
Although order picking is<br />
structured along differing<br />
lines, the central feature of<br />
this warehouse is its very<br />
clear logistic organization.<br />
• One combined flow<br />
storage system <strong>for</strong> fast<br />
and slow movers.<br />
• Short routes from the flow<br />
storage section to the<br />
delivery round<br />
preparation area.<br />
• The loading ramp area is<br />
clearly defined, with short<br />
distances <strong>for</strong> fast loading<br />
• Short routes from broken<br />
case order picking to flow<br />
storage handling.
Unpacked in a small space<br />
EXAMPLE: MOTOR SCOOTERS<br />
Riding a Vespa is fun. That<br />
is why 200 motor scooters<br />
are delivered daily to Vespa<br />
GmbH in Dierdorf.<br />
Until recently, these were<br />
packed in elaborate, costly<br />
packaging <strong>for</strong> storage.<br />
Today, a three-level spacesaving<br />
flow storage system<br />
organizes 1,620 motor<br />
scooters into 37 types.<br />
Secured to a special<br />
aluminum pallet, each Vespa<br />
is in clear view making the<br />
FIFO storage even easier.<br />
These reusable aluminum<br />
pallets are susceptible to<br />
bending and consequently<br />
are rigidized by special roller<br />
rails with zero-pressure<br />
accumulation with<br />
separators at the removal<br />
point.<br />
A concept with many extras:<br />
• Special centering guides<br />
<strong>for</strong> exact positioning of<br />
the aluminum pallets<br />
during storage.<br />
• Mechanical speed<br />
controller <strong>for</strong> gentle,<br />
impact-free movement.<br />
This is important, since<br />
the loaded pallets are top<br />
heavy.<br />
• Zero-pressure<br />
accumulation of the<br />
pallets <strong>for</strong> removal.<br />
• Precise lateral support to<br />
correct the wandering<br />
tendency of the unevenly<br />
loaded pallets.<br />

• Smooth transport of<br />
delicate furniture on<br />
special pallets<br />
• High density storage <strong>for</strong><br />
limited floor space.
Transverse storage in half<br />
the space with double the<br />
removal rate<br />
EXAMPLE: BEVERAGES<br />
Henniez has an output of<br />
almost a million beverage<br />
products each day. This<br />
volume could no longer be<br />
efficiently managed using<br />
traditional warehousing<br />
technology.<br />
The most elegant solution<br />
was this flow storage<br />
system with its 1,240 pallet<br />
positions <strong>for</strong> transverse<br />
storage, combined with<br />
other advantages:<br />
• The system now takes up<br />
only half the warehouse<br />
floor space, half the time<br />
to pull product and<br />
simplified the warehouse<br />
management of the<br />
system.<br />
• Newly developed roller<br />
systems enable smooth<br />
transverse transport <strong>for</strong><br />
storage and removal of<br />
two pallets;<br />
simultaneously or from<br />
different flow storage<br />
lanes.<br />
• Fork-lift trucks require<br />
less turning and increase<br />
the storage space.<br />
• Virtually maintenance<br />
free.<br />
The new store was installed<br />
in only 2 weeks, during<br />
ongoing production, and<br />
commissioned in only 1 day.<br />
Henniez logistics personnel<br />
were very satisfied with this<br />
cost-effective installation.<br />
