Lean Manufacturing is a discipline to eliminate waste in a process, operation or function. One of the most basic areas in which a Manufacturer should apply Lean principles is the storage mediums used for assembly and parts picking. Flow Cell carton flow units are ideal for line-side assembly, kitting and supermarket areas within a manufacturing operation.

Incorporating Flow Cell units into your operation converts static to dynamic storage. A properly designed Dynamic Storage Unit can increase space utilization by 50% and increase pick rates up to 30%. Dynamic Storage Units also improve the picking ergonomics reducing injury and fatigue.

Flow Cell's square tubing components provide more durability and save hours in assembly compare to tubular, pipe structures. Flow Cell's modular design ensures each unit is configured to meet the needs of your operation. Flow Cell units are reconfigurable providing maximum flexibility to accommodate line and process changes.

Flow Cell units engineered design applies ergonomic and lean principles to your operation.

• Minimize reach distances – product flows to front
• Increases pick access – angle parts towards picker
• FIFO inventory rotation – replenishment from back does not interfere with process
• Configure units to hold product required for shift or cycle
• Return lanes to keep boxes, totes off factory floor

Flow Cell units can also be a core component to implement a 5S program at a workstation.

Incorporating Flow Cell units into a Manufacturing Operation is a low cost solution. The units are easy to install with minimal disruption to an operation. Bottom Line impact is immediate providing a quick payback and increased flexibility.
