First-of-Its-kind Guide to Warehouse Bins Fills Today’s Knowledge Gap

Current performance demands require careful consideration of tote options, making Flexcon’s Top Considerations for Choosing Warehouse Bins an essential resource.

According to Flexcon President, Ken Beckerman, “Bins are ubiquitous in warehouses. But there isn’t a lot of information out there to guide buyers. This resource has everything about today’s available options, materials and applications to help them make the best decisions for their operations.”

Today’s warehouse bins are the product of the times. Many companies struggle with the same challenges managing inventory and facilitating productivity. Warehouse managers need the ability to provide efficient and organized storage solutions that respond to rapid and major inventory changes instigated by new facilities, expanded pick lines, or product introductions.

Flexcon’s new guide discusses available options for warehouse bins, including molded plastic, corrugated plastic, and corrugated cardboard, and how well they adapt to solve new and pressing challenges.

For warehouse operators, cube utilization is a major issue with today’s high real estate costs. The guide goes into key considerations for choosing bin materials and customizations for optimizing warehouse space while facilitating efficient picking.

Cube utilization of warehouse bins when in use as well as out of use is crucial. The “Top Considerations” guide discusses features that facilitate space-saving storage of empty bins.

Ease of storage will always be trumped by ease of use by both workers and automated systems. Flexcon’s guide provides insights into the importance of ergonomic attributes and precision features in warehouse bins.

“Considering how many processes warehouse bins touch and their impact on cube utilization, you need them optimized. And when things change in your order volume or your network or product line, you need to be able to respond quickly and effectively,” Beckerman adds.

For companies seeking agile storage solutions for the changing demands of the market and modern warehouse, Flexcon’s Top Considerations for Choosing Warehouse Bins is essential reading.
