FIRST FASTBOX

Unveiled at CeMAT, the first Fastbox has now been installed at the site of KNAPP customer and third-party logistics supplier, JCL Logistics, in Werndorf, Austria.

Fastbox is essentially a tall storage tower for containers, trays or cartons, served by the ultra-rapid lift module from KNAPP’s OSR ShuttleTM storage system. Any number of these Fastbox buffers can be located directly adjacent to the order picking stations and used to store fast-moving products.

The short transport distance from the picker and the ultra-fast handling combine to ensure maximum picking speed for these frequently required goods. Fastbox modules can also act as a buffer for order containers or as a means of sequencing containers ready for robotic palletisation or routeoptimised vehicle loading
