What to Expect from UNEX at the 2021 Assembly Show

 

FlowCell Configurator 

The FlowCell Configurator allows you to choose from countless options to build a FlowCell modular flow rack solution in a 3D sandbox environment. Start from scratch or choose from more popular configurations designed for specific applications.

Then, select your desired dimensions, track types, and accessories. After you've designed a FlowCell unit that meets your needs, you can fill out the information requested under "Send my design." You'll receive a FREE 3D drawing of your solution along with a bill of materials to help you get a jumpstart on your project.

FlowCell Workstations

FlowCell workstations are modular, dynamic storage units designed specifically for a facility's unique operation. The durable and flexible storage units support Lean Manufacturing principles by keeping inventory organized and maximizing pick efficiency.

Key applications include, but are not limited to:

  • Lineside Storage
  • Sub Assembly Stations
  • Material Handling Carts
  • Supermarket Areas

Pick Tray Carts, Mobile Units, Lineside Storage, and More!

UNEX FlowCell allows you to implement modular flow racks that are both flexible and ergonomic, organizing your inventory, accelerating pick productivity, and eliminating waste across your operation. FlowCell units are reconfigurable and adjustable for each unique application. Engineered to angle parts toward workers, FlowCell flow racks create clean, organized sightlines. Heavy gauge steel construction provides maximum durability - FlowCell can withstand even the harshest environments. Plus, assembling FlowCell units couldn't be easier. All FlowCell modular units start with a framework of vertical posts and horizontal beams, bolted together with 3/8" hardware (included), so only a 9/16" wrench is required to assemble your unit in under 1 hour.
