Buffering & Sequencing

Buffering stores goods temporarily, while sequencing arranges them in a specific order for processing or shipping. Both are essential for efficient warehouse and production operations, especially when handling fluctuating demands or complex processes. Kardex offers scalable and flexible solutions that reduce operator waiting time, save floor space, and ensure that goods are always available at the right time. 

Warehouse operations and production lines each have unique challenges, from managing fluctuating demand to improving material flow. Kardex provides custom-built buffering and sequencing solutions that adapt to your specific requirements, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
