BITO stacking containers, series XL, perfectly adapted to customer requirements
Load capacity 100 kg, complete with injection-moulded dividers
General contractor swisslog placed an order with BITO-Lagertechnik Bittmann GmbH in Meisenheim (Germany) to supply some 68,000 stacking containers XL sized 800 x 600 mm for an automated small parts storage facility in the distribution centre of an international engine builder. The containers had to meet special requirements: they had to be designed for load capacities of up to 100 kg while base deflection was to be limited to 4 mm – even if ambient temperatures rise up to 40°C. Moreover, most of the containers were to be provided with compartments. The condition here was that the dividers must firmly fit to the container base to prevent items from slipping underneath the dividers into an adjacent compartment. With their stacking containers XL 800x600 mm supplied with a steel plate reinforced double base and injection-moulded dividers, BITO provided the ideal solution. Moreover, the sides have water drainage holes to comply with the regulations for sprinkler environments.

The trading firm has recently decided to carry out an upgrade of its distribution centre with the help of BITO-Lagertechnik Bittmann GmbH in order to improve productivity. For this purpose, BITO retro-fitted static pallet racking levels with carton live storage flow shelves. The self-supporting flow shelves are simply hooked into slots of the upright adapter profiles which allow this system to be implemented in pallet racking of any manufacturer.
As early as in the 1980s, the product range of the supermarket supplier Tegut Gutberlet Stiftung & Co. in Fulda, Germany, was enlarged by organically produced fruit and vegetables. The organic segment with more than 2.500 products comes in part from company owned subsidiaries and the bakery shop which both closely cooperate with farmers of the Eastern Hesse region.
According to their turnover frequency, the organic products are supplied in static pallet racking levels. In order to increase picking performance of their operators while maintaining the FIFO principle during in- and outfeeding, Tegut decided to upgrade its existing pallet racking from BITO and other manufacturers. Static pallet racking levels were to be retro-fitted with carton live storage flow levels.
BITO Plastic bins and containers have become the red thread that links all logistic processes at Optimal: Flexi-warehousing
The automotive supplier Optimal KG headquartered at Langenbach, Germany, has implemented a standardised bin and container system to allow integrated automation of their material flow. Offering many possibilities for subdivision, bins and containers from BITO-Lagertechnik Bittmann GmbH have considerably improved handling in warehousing, interim storage, in-house transport and order picking in view of space requirement and process reliability.
Optimal KG provides spare parts for axles, brakes, steering and motors as well as other products for motor vehicles. The supplier provides parts and components to the unaffiliated spare parts market from which production partners around the world, original equipment manufacturers and quality suppliers replenish their stocks. Optimal was originally organised as a classic packaging and distribution business, but as their product range continued to grow, the company established several warehouse locations. In 2004, Optimal got into the spare parts business and enlarged their range to suit more than 1.200 different motor vehicle types. After some years, all storage and logistic ressources had been exhausted. Last but not least, the difficulty was that the available 12.000 products are made of 18.000 different parts. For this reason, the company decided to build a new warehouse and distribution centre and to incorporate a packaging service.
