In the rapid development of the industrial era, the workshop as the core of production activities, its management efficiency and space utilization are directly related to the production costs and competitiveness of enterprises. However, many companies still use the traditional model of floor stacking and fixed shelving, which not only limits the flexibility and efficiency of production space, but also may pose a potential threat to product quality and employee safety. In this paper, based on the above five points, we will thoroughly discuss the shortcomings of the traditional storage model, explain why the choice of Roll Out Sheet Metal Racks will become the solution, and finally look forward to the far-reaching impact of this transformation.

 

the Space Utilization Bottleneck

Analysis of the Current Situation

In the traditional workshop, the floor pile and fixed racks are the most common storage methods. Although the floor pile is simple and easy, but the lack of hierarchy, space utilization is extremely low; and fixed racks can increase the vertical storage space, but is often limited by its fixed structure, it is difficult to flexibly adjust the layout according to the type and size of material, resulting in a large amount of wasted space. In addition, with the expansion of production scale, the types and quantities of materials continue to increase, the lack of space utilization becomes more and more obvious.

 

the Advantages of Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack

Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack with its modular, adjustable design, the perfect solution to the above problems. By adjusting the size of the drawer, the number of layers and arrangement, it can be flexibly adapted to different types and specifications of sheet metal storage needs, greatly improving the space utilization. At the same time, the drawer’s roll out design makes it more convenient to pick up goods, reduces the handling distance and time, and optimises the logistics process.

 

 

Picking Inconvenience

Picking problems

In the traditional ground pile and fixed racks mode, picking sheet metal often requires workers to bend, climb or long time in the racks shuttle, not only labour-intensive, but also prone to error. Especially in the face of a large number of similar or similar sheet metal, it is more difficult to quickly and accurately complete the task of picking.

 

Loss of efficiency and accuracy

Inconvenient picking directly leads to the decline in picking efficiency and accuracy. This not only affects the continuity and stability of the production line, but also may lead to product quality problems due to picking errors, thus damaging the company’s reputation and customer trust.

 

Roll Out Sheet Metal Racking Solution

Drawer racking greatly simplifies the picking process through a clear labelling system, categorized storage and a convenient roll-out design. Workers only need to follow the label instructions and easily roll out the corresponding drawer to complete the picking task, greatly improving the picking efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the separation design of the drawer can also effectively prevent friction and collision between the sheet metal, to protect the surface quality of sheet metal.

 

 

the Friction and Deformation of Sheet Metal

 

Causes of Friction and Deformation

In the traditional storage mode, sheet metal is often stacked randomly or tightly arranged in fixed racks, the lack of necessary support and separation. Prolonged mutual extrusion and friction will not only lead to sheet metal surface scratches, deformation and even rust, but also affect its mechanical properties and service life.

 

Quality Loss and Cost Increase

Sheet metal friction and deformation not only reduces product quality and market competitiveness, but also due to returns, rework and other issues to increase business costs. In addition, the damaged sheet metal also needs to be repaired or replaced, further aggravating the waste of resources and cost burden.

 

the Protective Effect of the Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack

Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack through its unique separation design and solid support structure effectively prevents mutual extrusion and friction between the sheet metal. Each drawer can be customised according to the specifications of the sheet metal partition or padding material to protect the surface quality of the sheet metal; at the same time, the drawer roll-out design also makes the sheet metal in the storage and retrieval of more stable and smooth to reduce the risk of deformation caused by improper operation.

 

the Plight of Declining Efficiency

the performance of the decline in efficiency

The traditional storage model of efficiency decline in a variety of performance: such as picking time is long, the handling distance is far, the logistics process is complex and so on. These problems not only increase the labour intensity of workers and time costs also reduces the overall operational efficiency of the production line.

 

Cause analysis

The fundamental reason for the decline in efficiency is that the traditional storage model can not adapt to the rapidly changing production requirements and material characteristics. The rigid layout of the ground pile and fixed racks limits the flexible scheduling of materials and rapid response capabilities; and picking inconvenience and poor logistics further exacerbate the problem of declining efficiency.

 

The road to improve efficiency of Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack

Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack with its modular, adjustable design for the workshop storage has brought unprecedented flexibility and efficiency. Through the optimisation of storage layout, simplify the picking process and improve the logistics path and other means of Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack can significantly improve the overall operational efficiency of the workshop. At the same time its intelligent management system can also achieve real-time tracking of materials and inventory early warning and other functions for the enterprise’s lean production to provide strong support.

 

 

Employee Safety Concerns

the Revelation of Hidden Safety Hazards

In the traditional workshop storage mode, employee safety is often a neglected but vital link. The random stacking of floor piles may cause workers to trip or fall when walking, while the height and structural design of fixed racks, if not reasonable, may also cause falling accidents in the process of picking up goods. In addition, improper handling of heavy objects such as sheet metal may also lead to worker injuries such as sprains, strains or even more serious injuries.

 

Enhancement of Safety Awareness

Employee safety is the cornerstone of enterprise development, and any safety accident may cause incalculable losses to the enterprise. Therefore, it is particularly important to enhance the safety awareness of employees, strengthen safety training and establish a sound safety management system. However, relying on these measures alone is not enough to completely eliminate the safety hazards in the traditional storage mode.

 

the Safety of Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack

Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack in the beginning of the design has fully considered the safety of employees. Its low-profile design allows workers to easily pick up goods without climbing or bending over, greatly reducing the risk of falling and sprains. At the same time, the roll-out design of the drawer makes heavy lifting more convenient and stable, and reduces injuries caused by improper lifting. In addition, drawer shelving can also be equipped with safety accessories such as safety latches and crash bars to further enhance safety during use.

 

 

Through the transformation from traditional storage mode to Roll Out Sheet Metal Rack, enterprises can significantly improve the workshop storage efficiency and space utilization to reduce production costs and operating costs. At the same time, it can also improve the efficiency and safety of employees to enhance the competitiveness of the market and sustainable development of enterprises. Looking to the future with the continuous progress of science and technology and industrial automation in-depth development of drawer sheet metal racks will continue to upgrade and optimise the enterprise to create greater value. In short, the drawer plate rack as an efficient, safe, flexible storage solutions are gradually becoming the new favourite of the enterprise workshop storage. In the face of the traditional storage model of the various shortcomings of the enterprise should actively embrace change to try new technologies and new products to enhance their competitive strength and market position.
