Flow storage

The ‘flow storage’ module helps you organise your storage transactions efficiently and transparently. The ‘flow storage’ module helps you organise your storage transactions efficiently and transparently. It manages stock putaway and ensure that partially filled flow racks are filled to full capacity. At goods retrieval, the modules also makes sure that the load units are removed from storage in the correct order.

Flow storage

In flow rack systems, load units are introduced on one side and ‘flow’ through the unit to the other side where they are unloaded.
They work best if you have a large volume of load units (usually pallets) containing identical stock. Stock retrieval is based on the FIFO principle (first in, first out). The ‘flow storage’ module is used to map the pallet movements in a flow rack system and are an elementary component of intelligent logistics. At putaway, PROLAG®World makes sure that each flow lane or channel contains identical stock. When the first load unit (or pallet) is removed, the remaining load units automatically move to the next free slot in the rack. This guarantees traceability of the pallets based on the SSCC.  

PROLAG®World ensures that partially filled flow racks are filled to full capacity before another rack is opened. You can configure which criteria need to match for stock to be placed in a flow rack. At goods retrieval, the load unit placed in the flow rack first is also removed first (FIFO).
