Warehouse efficiency is not measured by square meters of space, but by how each square centimeter is used. 10 minutes spent searching for a screw or resistor means hundreds of hours of work lost throughout the day.
Plastic Boxes and the "5S" Methodology
The world-famous 5S (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke) system requires warehouse organization. Artek's plastic storage boxes are perfect for implementing the "Seiton" (Organization) phase of this system.
- Modular Design: Minimizes the need for shelf space as the boxes can be stacked vertically.
- Labeling Area: Each box has a barcode or writing area on the front, which reduces searching with a "Barcode Scanner" to seconds.
The Role of Shelves in FIFO and FEFO Principles
The FIFO (First In, First Out) principle is especially important for products with a shelf life, such as chemical solutions or batteries . Thanks to Artek's inclined shelving systems or open-fronted plastic boxes, the warehouse worker can always easily see and remove the oldest product.
