This medical device manufacturer needed to store long catheters safely, whilst ensuring proper batch segregation and efficient order picking.

Pigeon-hole storage was found to crush catheters, causing damage to these delicate and expensive products.  Additionally the stock was not fully open to the warehouse air conditioning-filtration system and anti bacterial lighting.

Our designers came up with a basket based shelving system that could be sub-divided.  The baskets were of a special no-snag design and coated with a high performance nylon that reduced dust and dirt build up and allowed excellent airflow and light penetration.

Baskets were mounted on an A- frame so that stock tilts back in the basket to aid selection.  Picking and distribution trolleys were specially designed with inset wheels for mobility and configured to segregate orders and move baskets.
