UNEX Offers Shelf Track Wheel Bed Promotion to Improve Order Picking Times & Efficiencies

Free Infeed Guides Keep Inventory Organized in Designated Lane, Smoothing Carton Flow and Speeding Fulfillment

UNEX Offers Shelf Track Wheel Bed Promotion to Improve Order Picking Times & Efficiencies

Lakewood, NJ - August 1, 2017 - UNEX Manufacturing, Inc., the trusted industry leader in providing innovative order picking solutions, announces a promotion for the UNEX Shelf Track solution, a durable carton flow system that drops easily into existing racks and shelves within warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centers. Five infeed "shark fin" guides are included free for each level of Shelf Track wheel bed purchased. UNEX's Shelf Track is guaranteed to decrease pick times and increase your operation's efficiency when compared to unreliable plastic wheel rails.?

"Our infeed guides provide a unique, easy to use solution to a very common storage problem," said Brian C. Neuwirth, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at UNEX Manufacturing. "Each guide easily snaps in place along the width of the panels, providing a visual indicator for an SKU's location, keeping inventory organized in its designated lane.? The guides prevent hang-ups in neighboring lanes from off-center products, allowing cartons and products to smoothly flow forward for faster order picking."


Now through September 30, 2017, the UNEX Shelf Track promotion will include five infeed guide accessories added for no cost for each level of wheel bed purchased. UNEX Shelf Track offers wheel beds with its patented Hex Hub wheel design to increase flexibility for slotting, providing 90% left to right bay usage. The wheel beds allow cartons to flow forward when the carton in front is removed, preventing the worker from having to reach into the rack to pull it forward, which can cause stress on the worker's back. UNEX Shelf Track works well with seasonal merchandise when you get odd-sized boxes that you typically don't store.

"If companies are using plastic wheel rails in their order picking operations, they're familiar with wheel failures, rails bowing from being loaded over their capacity, and poor restart from imprinting," said Neuwirth. "Our Shelf Track wheel beds, combined with the infeed guides, provides these companies with a superior solution that can stand up to the stresses of their storage environment."

UNEX Shelf Track's sturdy track is more durable for order picking operations than plastic wheel rails used by competitors. Often, the weight of the carton causes dimples on the box so that the product can't flow forward. As carton flow systems are used in many order picking processes, workers expect the pick face to always have product there. Plus, when working with products that have expiration dates, Shelf Track for carton flow facilitates first in/first out (FIFO) movements so that products are stored and picked in the right sequence.

"To take advantage of this promotion between now and September 30, 2017, simply mention this promotion when ordering online at www.unex.com or by phoning your UNEX Pickologist," adds Neuwirth.
