Introduction:
Efficiency in inventory management is crucial for the success of any industrial or warehousing operation. The way products are stored can significantly affect operational costs and productivity. One effective solution to this is the strategic use of warehouse totes, bins, and dividers. In this article, we will explore how these storage solutions can enhance material handling and offer practical advice on their implementation.
What Are Totes and Bins?
Totes and bins are essential containers for the storage and handling of materials in a warehouse. Totes are industrial, foldable, sealable boxes, while bins are open-topped containers designed for easy access.
Materials:
Both totes and bins are typically made from durable materials such as polyethylene, ABS plastic, acrylic, polypropylene, PVC, aluminum, and steel, which are resistant to various environmental factors.
Tote Dividers:
Dividers are plastic inserts used within a tote to create separate compartments for organised storage and efficient picking. They are especially useful inventory organising.
Benefits of Totes, Bins, and Dividers:
Improved Organisation: Available in various sizes and materials, totes and bins are ideal for organising small parts and preventing loss.
Maximised Storage Space: With the need for additional warehouse space on the rise, these containers offer a space-efficient solution, being stackable and collapsible.
Reduced Workplace Accidents: Proper storage reduces clutter and eliminates trip hazards, contributing to a safer working environment.
Enhanced Protection: Covered totes protect inventory from environmental contaminants, thus prolonging product life.
Boosted Picking Accuracy: Dividers and color-coded systems improve the accuracy of picking operations, with the added benefit of barcodes and alphanumeric codes for quick identification.
Increased Productivity: Clear views of contents and easy access to items without moving or opening containers speed up the picking process.
Integrating with Automated Solutions:
At Modula, we specialise in automated picking and handling solutions that can be integrated with totes and bins to further streamline operations.
Here’s how do Modula do that.
1. Enhanced Manual Picking: systems transport totes to picking locations, reducing manual handling.
2. Picking Carts for Batch Orders: picking carts, attached to autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), facilitate the movement of multiple totes.
3. Fully Automated Single Tote Picking: AMRs with robotic arms perform the picking process, selecting items directly from totes.
4. Automated Multiple Tote Picking: Robots transport totes within the warehouse, improving efficiency with minimal manpower.
5. Modula Automated Storage Solutions: Our vertical lift modules (VLMs) and horizontal carousels can be configured to work seamlessly with totes and bins, providing a vending machine-like system for secure storage and retrieval. These solutions reduce the need for operators to navigate aisles and increase picking speed.

Modula is developing a bespoke solutio
Order Picking Solutions
Our Put to light order-picking solutions, including picking carts and mobile stations, enhance the material handling process by reducing strain and increasing accuracy. Put-to-light is a system designed to improve productivity, enabling operators to increase the number of order lines that can be processed at one time. The put-to-light system allows you to define as many picking zones and you like, with orders processed in parallel.
For each zone, the Modula WMS assigns a specific order. Each system has one or more 1.5-meter bars that can be connected to cover the entire length of the operation. The bars sustain and power the lights of the system, which tell the operator where and how much to pick and put. Every zone has a corresponding display, and each display has three colors (amber, green and red) corresponding to a different machine.
The operator can thus pick from one machine and place the item where the matching color is illuminated. The display will indicate the number of pieces that need be put away. Once done, the operator pushes a button to signal the mission has been completed or to correct errors. The put-to-light system can operate either in batch or multi-order modes, depending on your operating procedures.
