SKU Rationalization Solution from UNEX Analyzes an Operation’s Inventory and Assigns Products to the Correct Storage Medium to Optimize Space Utilization
Lakewood, NJ – December 27, 2019 – UNEX Manufacturing, Inc., the trusted industry leader in providing innovative order picking and space-saving solutions, announces that the company has been named to the prestigious 2019 FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers list.
UNEX was chosen for assisting food and beverage distributors in rationalizing SKUs, overcoming productivity lapses, and lack of warehouse space due to the proliferation of SKUs.
“With the growth of new products and mergers & acquisitions in the market, food & beverage producers and distributors are overwhelmed with a growing number of SKUs they must handle within their operations,” said Brian C. Neuwirth, President, UNEX Manufacturing. “We help distributors find space within their operations using the right mix of carton flow systems and other offerings. We are pleased to be recognized for this prestigious award for the past five years.”
UNEX’s proprietary software, SKUBE, analyzes an operation’s inventory and assigns products to the correct storage medium. It analyzes the movement of products to understand better which items should be assigned to pallets, carton flow, or shelving units. One national distributor of food products has reduced travel time on the pick path by 80%, reduced pick time by 42% and freed up 456 pallet positions, by using SKUBE to rationalize SKUs in the pick path, creating fewer footsteps for the order pickers.
“Whether you’re using sensors to monitor critical temperatures for perishables or a WMS to manage inventory flows in your warehouse, software and technology are playing a vital role in the food and beverage industry,” remarks John R. Yuva, editor for Food Logistics and its sister publication, Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “The transparency and safety of the digital global food supply chain would not exist without innovations in software and technology. Our FL100+ recipients help drive supply chain compliance and regulatory changes that benefit everyone from the farmer to the food processor to the consumer.”
The annual FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers serve as a resource guide of software and technology providers whose products and services are critical for companies in the global food and beverage supply chain. Companies on this year’s 2019 FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers list will be profiled in the November/December 2019 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com.
