Pick Module

It’s usually a multi-level structure incorporating live storage systems (carton and/or pallet flow) combined with selective rack or shelving for holding slower moving or reserve SKUs.

Goods may be picked to manually propelled carts, conveyors, powered pallet jacks or other devices to facilitate delivery to a sorting area before shipping.
