Streamlined Lean Material flow Systems
Achieve your organization’s facility wide material flow goals with Geolean’s lean material flow systems. We offer everything you need to meet your goals—from helping you implement the right combination of structures to providing ongoing support services.
Helping you achieve big-picture value
The most efficient manufacturing operations rely on departmental and functional process connections to build a better system. When you invest in a lean material flow, you benefit from the power of several compatible structures working together to connect processes across departments and generate even greater value.
Forklift-free Systems for Safety and Efficiency
Transform your operation with a forklift-free material handling system. By eliminating the excessive motion and transportation of forklifts, your facility can experience the short- and long-term advantages of Geolean’s cart delivery systems. Flat deck carts, shelf carts, flow carts, kit carts, and mother daughter carts can all be combined to achieve desired system functionality.
Increased load density
Reduced risk of employee injuries
Improved insurance liability metric
Enhanced packaging flexibility
Reduced operating and maintenance costs
Pack and Ship Work Cells for Speed and Accuracy
Geolean’s Mod-U-Cell product line is our newest answer to recent industry demands for better equipment to support pack and ship operations. Increased web sales, expanded product lines, and higher customer demand are all overloading legacy pack and ship operations. Automation is excessively expensive and adds lengthy implementation times. The Mod-U-Cell line solves these challenges. Developed from our hands-on experience with pack and ship operations, we have a pre-designed set of structures that can be combined in dozens of configurations to fit your requirements.
Increased density of packaging material
Improved operator ergonomics
Enhanced visual management
Improved operator efficiency
Reduced product handling
Picking, Kitting and Line Feed Systems for Flow and Replenishment
The material flow loop between part storage and the production area is a critical improvement area for putting better material flow systems in place. Product size, value, and quality characteristics are set against increasing complexity to put material handling processes under pressure. Choices need to be made about which products can be case or tote picked, sequenced, or kitted and the supporting signals, returns, replenishment, and fill processes need to be designed with appropriate supporting equipment. Pick to light and other electronic control systems may need to be added to ensure SKU pulls match requirements. Custom carts, flow racks, and workstations can all be put to use to make these systems work to support the value adding production activity.
Increased storage density
Improved picking ergonomics
Enhanced inventory management
Improved operator efficiency
Reduced lineside footprint
