Buffering & Sequencing
Discover how Kardex' automated solutions enhance your buffering and sequencing processes. Improve space usage, reduce idle time in packing and shipping, and increase productivity with our cost-efficient systems.
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.
