Using pick bins on a production or assembly line

 

Kbins are not just for trade counters, warehouse, workshops and labs – they are very effective when used in a production line scenario to help facilitate assembly of products or day-to-day operations and maintenance of key machinery.

Let’s look at how pick bins can support and indeed enhance production and assembly lines increasing productivity and minimising errors.

Efficiently organised

Pick bins play a crucial role in maintaining order and efficiency on a production line. By providing a designated space for each component, these bins ensure workers can quickly and easily access the materials they need, reducing downtime and minimising errors. This organised approach not only speeds up the assembly process but also helps in maintaining inventory control, as it is easier to monitor stock levels and reorder supplies as needed.

Designed to be durable and versatile, Kbins are ideal for the demanding environment of a production or assembly line. They come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different components and tools; these can be labelled or colour coded for easy identification. This customisation ensures every item has its place, thereby reducing the time spent searching for parts and minimising disruptions in the workflow.

Additionally, pick bins can be easily integrated with other organisational systems such as shelving units, trolleys, and conveyors, further enhancing their useability on the assembly line. They can be stacked, mounted, or placed on rolling carts to provide flexible storage solutions that can be adapted to the specific needs and each part of the production process. This adaptability helps in optimising space and improving the overall efficiency of the production or assembly line.

Designing the right solution

One of the best things about Kbins, other than their durability, is their adaptability. This means solutions can be made with a range of bins sizes to ensure each component on an assembly or production line is stored in the correct sized bin, allowing for easy access to necessary components and for straightforward replenishment as required.

Three core ranges A, B and C offer 100mm, 200mm and 300mm high bins in a variety of widths. The angled front panel ensures operatives can find what they are looking for easily, even when labelled, and select the product with ease.

Additionally, the MS range gives stacked bin options whilst the D range gives divider bin options for smaller components.

The seamless integration of Kbins storage products brings a level of versatility and flexibility which appeals to so many customers who have chosen Kbins to support their day-to-day business operations for decades.

Visible in workshops, production lines, warehouses and in diverse settings such as museum archives and hospitals the adaptability of Kbins is far reaching. And, with a bespoke service available too, customers can develop solutions to suit exact requirements or if they wish to have them printed with their branding or logos.

In summary, choosing the right type of bin can enhance efficiency, organisation, and overall workflow in your warehouse, pick face or trade counter operations. To speak to a member of our team call 0113 250 9777 or email us sales@kbins.com
