High Rack with 6 n 7 deep from two sides

[Former Member]

Hi

In a High rack Storage , there are 3 levels.

Front Side of the Rack :

Each bin can accommodate 6 Pallets.(6 deep)

The Pallets are pushed horizontally in the bin.

Back Side of the Rack :

Each bin can accommodate 7 Pallets (7 deep)

The Pallets are pushed horizontally in the bin.

Forklift access is available from both sides.

Homogeneous Materials of same batch are stored in a bin.

Which specific storage type should be used ?

Which type of putaway strategy will be suitable?

Removal is not required on FIFO , as usually single batch

material is stored in a bin.

Please suggest.

Thanks / Vinod

if you have access from both the side and each physical location (6 deep or 7 deep)  is having separate identification number with individual access then my suggestion is you can go ahead with HRS with next empty bin

Hi Manish

Thanks for your earlier reply , one more question on this.

We can store 6 or 7 Pallets in a bin as above. Which capacity method we can use in such case to determine and fix that a particular bin will have only 6 or only 7 Pallets ?

All pallets being used in this storage type are of same size (same type) and of the same material.

Thanks in advance / Vinod

Hi Vinod,

In your situation perhaps capacity check method 5 is useful.

Define your usages per SUT when you define your SUTs.

Also maintain the maximum usage per bin in Bin Master.

Depending on how your shipments are coming, you might also want to check placement strategy
"I". It will switch to logic for "L" if it cannot find an existing bin.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
