Carton flow is used for low volume case picking and for high volume split case picking.

Cartons are loaded individually at the back side of the rack and flow to the front (FIFO-First In First Out). Carton flow can be installed as stand alone units, or as a component of a larger pallet rack, or pick module application.

Advantages:

• Very high SKU slot facing
• Can support both full case, and split case picking
• Relatively inexpensive
• Very flexible

Typical Applications:

• Split case picking
• Pick modules
• Battery storage

Limitations:

• Requires double handling of cases
• Not well suited to high volume, full case applications
