Pick Modules

Typically pick modules are multi-level rack structures to store inventory and pick items for order fulfillment but it is also possible to have a single level pick module. The main component of a pick module is rack. Modules may be made up of various rack types including pallet, carton flow, or shelving. The number of storage locations and SKUs stored in pick modules varies greatly from hundreds to thousands. Large distribution centers often have several multiple level pick modules with levels or entire modules set up to handle a type of product or configured for a specific type of rack. In other situations the desire is to start with a smaller, pilot pick module concept to gain confidence and proof of the productivity and efficiency benefits
