  • Order Fulfillment Centers: FlowCell can create customized workstations for flow-through, picking, packing, and kitting, streamlining order fulfillment processes based on unique warehouse facility needs.
  • Retail Backrooms & Order Pick Up: These modular flow racks can accommodate space constraints in retail backrooms or pick-up areas, organizing inventory or staging orders at ergonomic elevations with flexibility to adapt to changing needs.
  • Third-Party Logistics Facilities: FlowCell offers an agile and cost-effective warehouse storage solution for 3PL providers, accommodating various product sizes and quickly adapting to different client contracts, even in smaller footprints or height-restricted areas.

How FlowCell Modular Flow Racks Support Lean Manufacturing Principles

FlowCell modular flow racks are designed to align with the core principles of lean manufacturing, enabling operations to eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and enhance quality control throughout their facilities. These modular flow rack systems increase operational efficiency in the following ways:

FlowCell modular flow racks
  • Waste Elimination: FlowCell modular flow racks help eliminate wasted time, motion, and space by keeping parts accessible at the pick face, supporting first-in, first-out (FIFO) stock rotation, and improving overall visibility within a compact footprint.
  • Continuous Flow: FlowCell modular flow racks keep inventory moving efficiently from one process to the next, supporting uninterrupted operations in assembly, kitting, and parts replenishment. They are ideal for lineside storage, mobile carts, workstation integration, and more.
  • Just-In-Time (JIT) Production: FlowCell modular flow racks offer a flexible design that can be configured to match your workflow, keeping inventory aligned with production needs and helping manufacturers achieve true just-in-time operations.
  • Built-in Quality: By keeping components organized in smooth-flowing, accessible lanes, flow racks make it easier to access parts, reduce damage risk, and facilitate consistent quality control in line with lean's 5S system (sort, set, shine, standardize, sustain).
