Enhancing Inventory Visibility and Traceability

A core tenet of ISO 9001 is the ability to identify and trace product status throughout production. In a high-mix, low-volume fabrication environment, sheet metal inventory often becomes a “black box” when stacked in deep piles. Operators cannot visually verify the quantity or condition of the sheets at the bottom of a stack without significant labor.

The horizontal Regalsystem aus Stahlblech solves this by “decanting” vertical stacks into individual, accessible drawers. Each drawer acts as a dedicated bin location that can be labeled with specific material data (thickness, grade, heat number). When a drawer is opened, the stock level is immediately visible. This granular organization allows purchasing managers to perform accurate cycle counts in minutes rather than hours, preventing both stockouts and overstocking of capital-intensive raw materials.

Reducing Motion Waste in Material Handling

Lean manufacturing defines “Motion” as any movement of people or machinery that does not add value to the product. In sheet metal warehousing, the act of “digging” for a specific sheet—moving three pallets of 3mm steel to get to the 5mm steel underneath—is pure waste. It consumes forklift fuel, operator time, and increases machine idle time.

By utilizing a multi-level drawer system, fabricators establish a random-access storage model. Any gauge of mild steel is accessible independently of the others. This reduces the retrieval time from an average of 15-20 minutes (for buried stock) to less than 2 minutes. For workshops feeding turret punches or press brakes, this rapid access ensures that the processing machinery is never waiting for material, directly improving the shop’s throughput velocity.

Hybrid Storage for Optimized Workflow

Effective storage strategies often require handling both active inventory (WIP) and bulk overstock. A hybrid rack configuration addresses this by combining lower-level manual drawers for high-frequency picking with upper-level fixed cassettes for bulk pallet storage. This vertical segmentation ensures that fast-moving SKUs are always at ergonomic working height, while the upper “air rights” of the facility are utilized for safety stock, retrievable via forklift only when replenishment is needed.

Preservation of Material Conformity

Physical damage constitutes a non-conformance event under quality management systems. Mild steel sheets, while robust, can suffer from corner bending or surface gouging when pallets are stacked directly on top of one another. The horizontal rack structure isolates each pack of material on its own steel frame. This prevents crushing damage to bottom sheets and eliminates the risk of collision damage caused by forklift forks scraping against the side of a stack. Ensuring material arrives at the cutting table in pristine condition reduces scrap rates and protects downstream tooling.
