But, you don't know what an A-Frame System is? That's okay! Today, on the Bertolini Storage Systems blog, we'll explain more about this subject and how it works.
Welcome, and have a great reading!

What is the A-Frame System?

Before we get into what the A-Frame System actually means, let's present an example of a problem that, if you work in the Logistics Sector of a company, you have most likely already faced.
Imagine that at the last minute an order arrived from a very important client, containing several products. The time to ship this order is short and it would take employees a few hours to separate it. How can this be resolved?
With the A-Frame System, issues like these can be resolved in just a few minutes. It is nothing more than a productivity system installed on a conveyor belt, which is capable of separating numerous products in a short space of time.

How does the A-Frame System work?

Now that we understand what it is, we can move on and get to the point of: How the A-Frame System works.
The A-Frame is a modular system, installed on conveyor belts, as we mentioned previously, and within this belt there is a series of channels, each of which is responsible for each SKU (Stock Keeping Unit).
This way, when an order arrives at the Logistics Sector and is taken to the A-Frame System installed on the conveyor belt, the products leave the conveyor belts through the channels, reaching the conveyor belt. And later, they are taken to their final packaging.
Therefore, using the A-Frame System, it is possible to reduce order separation time, as this process will become automated.

Improved Productivity

Within the Logistics Sector, perhaps more than in others, productivity is the key point for the success of the company as a whole.
And, when we are talking about automation in the sector, the A-Frame System can be fundamental to improving productivity.

Better Use of Warehouse

The way a company's warehouse is presented says a lot about how it positions itself.
And, having an automation system like A-Frame can further improve organization issues, since products will need to be aligned and placed in strategic locations to facilitate their exit.

Error Reduction

All sectors are prone to errors, but when they occur in logistics, they can end up causing a very serious problem. Therefore, automation and, consequently, choosing the A-Frame System, can help reduce losses.
