The term ‘picking’ refers to all activities involving the complete or partial sorting and picking of goods within a warehouse, often of a size manageable by a person. This is a necessary approach when packages, components, products, or other materials need to be stored and later handled for assembly or shipping purposes. Scaffsystem specializes in this crucial logistic phase, which can be done manually or mechanically, with its metal racking systems. The modules are designed and built for non-palletized products. This means goods organised for storage in cartons, plastic containers or even loose. Here too, Scaffsystem has developed a comprehensive and efficient product management and handling system. Depending on the product sector and the frequency of goods picking, we are able to provide profiled solutions with gravity or static metal racking, supported by roller conveyors of various types. Our long-standing experience in the logistics and warehouse optimization sector enables us to propose and implement suitable facilities and systems for every sector, including: Among the most widely installed picking systems, the Smart system stands out. It is a modular, flexible solution that combines robustness and stability with aesthetics and the total possibility of full customization thanks to its wide range of accessories. The shelving is essentially composed of slotted uprights of special sections, connected together by means of side crossbars (to form the frame of the desired depth and height) and solid, modular, configurable shelves. These in turn consist of longitudinal beams and transverse shelves. The load capacity guaranteed by this type of system varies from 230 to 400 kg per shelf under uniformly distributed load conditions. It is typically manufactured from Sendzimir galvanised steel sheet, using certified raw materials. Customization allows us to provide the shelving with a steel sheet finish painted with epoxy powders in different colours. Each structure is meticulously designed, and, based on the required loads, there is a wide range of load-bearing elements and accessories to choose from. This allows us to cater for all types of needs and tasks. To make our projects comprehensive and effective, we also provide consultation on the best software that can interface with the company’s management systems. The objective is to achieve supervision of storage and picking operations, through the use of radio frequency terminals, pick-to-light and voice-picking systems. This method of redistributing goods takes full advantage of the heights of the premises, providing access to the highest levels by means of special walkways or galleries integrated with the industrial shelving. Upon specific requests, we can equip the steel structures with suitable equipment such as: We build customised structures for each company.

Picking Shelving: the SMART system from Scaffsystem
Scaffsystem’s Smart Shelving also allows the creation of multi-level installations (also known as multi-tier systems, with two or more levels), equipped with stairs and walkways with different types of flooring, capable of satisfying all manual picking requirements. This enables the utilization of vertical space and increased storage possibilities, including useful organizing accessories such as modular container kits. All of this is done while adhering to anti-seismic criteria linked to the warehouse’s location.
