…packer, newly built a lunchroom mezzanine (above the fruit packing floor) that required gentle and even airflow, and—due to its proximity to the inherently dusty process of packaging kiwi and other fruit—it needed to be easily cleanable. Additionally, any ductwork option needed the ability to incorporate custom printed logos to satisfy Exeter, Calif.-based Venida’s passion for displaying company branding. Prior…

…picking that probably includes a mezzanine and a conveyor to transport merchandise through the facility. Light-directed picking has made more penetration than voice. Those organizations are exploring technology like high speed sorters and unit sorters. The country’s largest companies are also beginning to look at automatic storage, mini-loads, shuttle systems and pouch sorters. “Chilean companies are trying to grow their…

Up on a 19,000-square-foot mezzanine in a distribution center in western New York, order selectors at either end of a pick module are directed by voice as they walk through their zones, picking slow-moving SKUs. There’s nothing special about that process at the Rochester Drug Cooperative, which goes to market as RDC. It’s the kind of piece-picking solution you see…

…by moving goods to a mezzanine or higher floor for unpacking. Over at the larger facilities, there’s action in dock levelers as well as seals/shelters and controls to help raise productivity. There’s even a bit of an innovation that will help speed up commissioning and maintenance of systems. Earlier this year, Systems Inc. (McGuire, Poweramp and DLM) introduced a fully…

…Whether they’re using racking, platforms, mezzanines—or a combination of all three—to maximize vertical space, companies need to ensure worker safety and comply with OSHA and ANSI fall prevention regulations. Anytime different “levels” come into play when loading, unloading, picking or moving pallets and totes, the likelihood of a potential accident increases exponentially. One particular ANSI rule (1910.23), for example, addresses…
