FiFo table (basic)

FIFO - up to date and in the right order

Tracking complex processes is still a challenge for organisers. In warehouses and in handling individual orders, the FIFO principle has already proven its value. FIFO grew out of the pursuit of continuous improvement and stands for "First in - First out".

In warehouses FIFO prevents shelves from "warming up" and goods from spoiling or ageing. When processing orders, the FIFO principle sets a sensible order based on incoming orders. This prevents orders from remaining unprocessed for too long and customers from being annoyed by delays.

The FIFO principle is simple and requires only a simple organisational structure. IT is not always the most suitable solution.

Inventory management with the FIFO board

In small-parts or pallet warehouses there is often no overview of which parts were put into stock and when. Ideally the oldest parts always leave first. With the FIFO board this can be checked directly at the rack, without much effort.

Example of a process

Item no. 3920 is delivered. The material handler takes a coin with the storage location number from the container at the bottom of the FIFO lane, stores the product at the right location and puts the coin at the top of the FIFO lane.

When a part is needed for production, the chip for the oldest part is at the bottom of the FIFO lane. The chip and then the part are removed.

The disc is then returned to the storage container, indicating a free storage location.

In addition, FIFO lanes can be marked according to the traffic light principle. For this, red, yellow and green magnetic strips are attached to the board to indicate the levels of the storage location and the material.

Additional information

• The FiFo board offers you a way to visualize and plan these processes transparently.
• The FiFo board system is modular in design to adapt to the various possible applications.
• The base board has 5 vertical tracks that are equipped with chips (coins).
• Since the system is designed to be flexible, you can use the FiFo board extension (see figure 2) to expand your base board.
• We offer the board in different versions (without the accessories shown / without chips).
• Dimensions: 274 mm x 862 mm (W x H)
