3 What is Carton Live Storage? Carton Live Storage is a gravity fed storage and picking system. Replenishment cartons are loaded at the rear and flow towards the front of the rack. The first carton placed in the shelf is the first at the offload end. Such a system facilitates 100% stock rotation. Cartons are stored on inclined tracks with rollers. When a carton is removed, the one immediately behind it gently rolls into position ensuring automatic stock rotation and that stock is always available for picking. This system is most commonly used for medium moving items of a smaller nature. Offload End Picking 3

4 User Profile Carton Live Storage Primarily used in order-picking operations to ensure that stock is always available for picking customer orders This system is designed for mediumhigh throughput split-case order picking of physically small goods Cartonflo is used to integrate order picking and storage applications 4

5 Carton Live Storage vs. Static Shelving Why is Carton Live Storage better? Reduction in required floor area Reduced picking time Better consolidation of SKUs Increase in pick rates Greater potential for 100% stock rotation Separate picking and replenishment zones Full and Split case pickings within the same bay Reduced labour costs Static Shelving CLS % Difference Total floor area 400 m m Storage area 290 m m 2 20 Aisle length 170 m 43 m 75 Picks per person/shift Picks per minute

6 Typical System Characteristics Carton Live Storage Carton Live Storage suits picking from cartons or tote bins Carton Live Storage condenses the pick face, reducing the travel time between picks Guide rails help to keep products segregated on the Carton Live Storage system Carton Live Storage is easy to reconfigure for different product types Designed for medium-high throughput split-case order picking Suitable for a wide range of physically small goods Eliminates the need for urgent pick face replenishments 100% First In/First Out rotation 6

7 Carton Live Storage in Pick Applications One of the most effective Carton Live Storage application is in a pick module, where you find a high concentration of SKUs and labour CLS systems can be fitted with front mounted or internal conveyors to facilitate product transfer Pick and Put-to-Light systems may be fitted to the front of CLS for high volume order picking 7

10 Colby Beams Beams All standard duty Colby Beams are made from 1.6mm thick high tensile steel. Heavy Duty Beams are made from 2.0mm thick high tensile steel. Available standard lengths are: 1370mm / 2590mm/ 2740mm / 3050mm Wide variety of beams for adjustable pallet racking Different range of profiles to balance the needs of structural performance, cost and durability Powder coat finish in standard orange colour Benefits Optimum combination of structural performance, durability and cost efficiency Durable, hard wearing finish Box Beam (BB) Depth (mm) kg/pair of beams (2590 Span Upright) kg kg kg kg kg Heavy Duty Beam (UU) Depth (mm) kg/pair of beams (2590 Span Upright) kg kg kg Open Beam (OB) Depth (mm) kg/pair of beams (2590 Span Upright) kg kg 10

11 Colby Connectors & Clips 4-tang End Connector Improved stability under the most demanding conditions Maximum structural effectiveness For Standard, Heavy-Duty and Structural Box Beams 3-tang End Connector For light-duty Open Section beams only Used for shelving and CLS applications Safety Clips Spring-loaded to prevent accidental dislodging Available for Heavy-Duty (patented and registered) and Standard Beams 11

12 Upright Protectors for Carton Live Storage Even the best forklift drivers have accidental collisions with racking. Worst case scenario involves a rack collapse Impact damage weakens the racking structure compromising the rack load carrying capacity Potentially putting both property and life, at risk Protect your business and your people with Protect-a-Rack A specially notched version suitable for carton live storage racking with typical shelf levels Available for front and rear uprights 12

13 Cantilevered Tilt Trays (Front & Back) Why having a cantilevered Tilt Tray at the Front? Dimensional Reasons (Available Pick face) Reduce the Pick height of the top level of CLS System Cantilevered Tilt Tray allows to built additional equipment underneath (such as conveyor) Why having a cantilevered Tilt Tray at the Back? Protect the Rollers of CLS system in heavy duty environment 13

14 Divider Clips Plastic Clips are not sufficient robust for heavy duty operations Metal Clips have a longevity in cool and frozen environments 14
