Small Parts (Piece Picking)
Storing, managing, and picking single items such as small and lightweight goods requires a solution that optimizes order picking performance while guaranteeing high precision.
We know what you need:
- Compact storage for maximum space utilization
- High picking accuracy
- Short access times
- High turnover rates
- Reduced labor requirements
- Modular and adaptable systems for maximum flexibility
Kardex systems enable the storage of small and lightweight goods significantly improving productivity and energy consumption while reducing error rates. We offer user-friendly and easy-to-operate material flow control and warehouse management. Our solutions serve multiple purposes. Use them to store goods in a high-bay warehouse to supply a production line with a wide range of products, pick slow-moving parts in a distribution warehouse, or for buffer storage in an assembly area.

Kardex VBM Box, Kardex VLM Box & Kardex VCM Box
When storing small parts, we recommend using Kardex VBM Boxes, Kardex VLM Boxes, and Kardex VCM Boxes. Combined with our automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), they help organize your inventory and maximize storage capacity. The boxes are made of durable and robust plastic. They are reusable, easy to clean, and water/chemical resistant.
Individually configurable for different items, the boxes are flexible in size. With various heights, widths, and depths, they offer a hundred location types and organized storage. They fit exactly into the storage system for maximum storage density and better organization. If necessary, the boxes can be further subdivided to create the exact storage locations your operations require.
Totes, Bins, Trays
When storing single items, using bins is particularly appropriate as they ensure high storage density, and an efficient material flow. They organize inventory and support the operators to find the right parts simply and quickly, while speeding the overall picking time and increasing throughput. Kardex solutions enable you to store and automatically convey your goods flexibly in bins and systems tailored to your needs.
Cartons, Boxes & Cases
When it comes to goods delivered in cartons or boxes, storing them directly as they arrive, without repackaging, can save labor resources. For easy split-case picking, in some cases, items can be kept in their original carton, box or case and stored within the ASRS. Using automated systems with a conveying connection it can also be possible to transport the carton, box, or cases to the storage system automatically.
