Box Shelf; 2 Levels; Top level hinged; Create Full Range

At the moment - a 24.5" tray is the most critical. A client has a go-live date in March and would benefit from a hinged shelving unit.


Adding to the catalog a hinge for all 2-level tray sizes would be beneficial as a whole. This item exists for 22.5" tray, and a 30.5" tray is currently in process - why not create the option for all tray sizes.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Clients that have the need to pick to a 2-level shelf but also pick batched singles lose half the liquid cube available. Hinging the top level would make the entire liquid cube of the bot available to a larger tote to pick batched singles.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

Clients would see a 50% increase of picking volume for batch singles.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Our picking software cannot handle two separate locations to be dedicated to batch singles. Can only use either the upper or lower level to pick batched singles.

    Adding on to this for FragranceNet. They could use this option for the 20.5" two level shelf. It would make the bot more versatile for putaway of larger items.

    Idea is to create this for the full range - 20.25, 22.25, 24.25, 26.25, 30.25, we will not go to 32.25 due to stability issues as we start to get upto that size. Currently we have this for 22.5 (orderable now), we have a design complete for the 30.25.

    This card will be used to track progress for 20.25, 24.25 and 26.25. 24.25 will be developed as the priority to support the Go Live of Badger Sports.


    Adam please can you clarify the qty required as we may not be able to support the customer need date of the 03/14/22 depending on the qty.
