Hi and welcome to this edition of Total Warehouse Tutorials. In this video you will learn about pick modules.

A pick module is designed consolidate space and move product efficiently through a warehouse or distribution center and expedite the order fulfillment process.

A pick module can be designed for manual pick applications, automated pick applications, or a combination of both. This helps reduce or eliminate walking time and can help save on labor costs.

Pick modules utilize various rack types integrated with a variety of other material handling solutions.

In this example, the mezzanine is designed to structurally support the pick module. Pallet flow rack is integrated for pallet or case pick, carton flow rack provides broken case picking, and selective rack is used to replenish the pick locations. Conveyors facilitate the flow of these picked products to various locations throughout the distribution center.

Typical designs can include push back rack, pallet flow rack, carton flow rack, selective rack, mezzanines, shelving, stairs, as well as spiral, motorized, or gravity conveyors.
