### Mobile Pick Shelves

Excellent for FlowCell solutions, pick shelves provide workers with the most precise and efficient pick possible.

## Who Can Benefit from UNEX Pick Shelves?

UNEX Pick Shelves are a versatile solution designed to optimize various operations across different industries, offering efficient and accessible storage for improved picking processes. These angled shelves can benefit the following operations:

- **Manufacturing:** UNEX Pick Shelves improve [manufacturing](https://www.unex.com/industries/manufacturing) environments by enhancing [manufacturing supermarkets](https://www.unex.com/applications/packing-assembly/manufacturing-supermarkets), increasing visibility and accessibility of components. When integrated into [industrial workstations](https://www.unex.com/applications/packing-assembly/industrial-workstations), they angle parts toward workers, significantly improving efficiency. The clearer sight lines and easier access to parts at the point of pick lead to a substantial boost in overall productivity, streamlining the manufacturing process.
- **Order Fulfillment:** In [order fulfillment centers](https://www.unex.com/industries/order-fulfillment-warehousing), Pick Shelves transform operations by improving sight lines and accessibility, resulting in faster pick rates and fewer mispicks. The angled design facilitates effortless [FIFO rotation](https://blog.unex.com/how-to-implement-an-effective-fifo-strategy-in-your-operation), ensuring proper inventory management and reducing errors. Additionally, these shelves convert inefficient racks into high-density storage solutions, maximizing space utilization and improving overall warehouse efficiency.
- **Lineside Storage:** Pick Shelves optimize [lineside storage](https://www.unex.com/applications/packing-assembly/lineside-storage) by providing an efficient system for storing materials and components near production lines. By angling parts directly to the point of pick, they enhance worker efficiency on the assembly line, reducing unnecessary movement and improving ergonomics. This setup also allows for quicker and more accurate replenishment, minimizing production downtime and keeping operations running smoothly.

## How Pick Shelves Optimize Supply Chain Operations

UNEX Pick Shelves are designed to streamline and simplify operations across the supply chain, from manufacturing to order fulfillment. These angled shelving solutions enhance efficiency, improve visibility, and boost productivity throughout various processes. Pick Shelves support supply chain optimization in the following ways:

![unex angled pick shelves for each picking](https://www.unex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/UNEX-ODOM-119.jpg?width=1000&height=667&name=UNEX-ODOM-119.jpg)

- **Enhanced Visibility and Accessibility:** The angled design of [Pick Shelves](https://blog.unex.com/solution-spotlight-pick-shelving) significantly improves sight lines and accessibility at the point of pick, leading to faster pick rates, reduced labor costs, and fewer mispicks.
- **Improved Space Utilization:** Pick Shelves transform inefficient racks and workstations into [high-density storage](https://blog.unex.com/what-is-high-density-storage) solutions, maximizing both vertical and horizontal space while securely storing products of various shapes and sizes.
- **Effortless FIFO Rotation:** The gravity-powered design of Pick Shelves facilitates automatic first-in, first-out inventory rotation, ensuring proper stock management and reducing the risk of product expiration or obsolescence.
- **Enhanced Ergonomics:** By bringing items directly to the pick point and eliminating the "dead zone," Pick Shelves reduce the need for excessive lifting, bending, and stretching, resulting in improved worker comfort, fewer injuries, and [increased productivity](https://blog.unex.com/boosting-productivity-with-ergonomic-material-handling-solutions).

## Pick Shelves FAQs

#### Why should I used UNEX Pick Shelves?

UNEX Pick Shelves are easy-to-mount and customizable, offering a simple and effective tool for improving pick rates. Our Pick Shelves are angled to provide clear visibility and accessibility at the pick point. Adjustable shelves and pick trays provide the most durable, flexible and accessible pick points for workers.

#### Where are UNEX Pick Shelves commonly used?

Pick Shelves are frequently used in manufacturing supermarkets, lineside storage, and order picking applications. They’re ideal for storing slow-moving SKUs or components at the point of use, improving visibility, ergonomics, and pick accuracy in both fulfillment and manufacturing/assembly environments.

#### What is the “dead zone” in shelving, and how do UNEX Pick Shelves help eliminate it?

The “dead zone” refers to the hard-to-reach area at the back of flat shelving where products are often overlooked, underpicked, or require awkward reaching. UNEX Pick Shelves eliminate this by angling inventory toward the front, keeping items visible and within easy reach, improving pick speed, accuracy, and ergonomics.
