Kitting Media Support Stillages

Scope

One of our customers in the automotive manufacturing industry approached us with a challenge: their kitting process was inefficient due to disorganised components, frequent misplacements, and unnecessary handling time. They needed a tailored solution to streamline their workflow, improve material accessibility, and enhance overall productivity. To address this, we designed a custom kitting media stillage that optimised storage, ensured easy identification of parts, and enabled seamless transport across their facility. This solution not only reduced downtime but also improved efficiency and workplace safety.

A kitting media stillage enhances operational efficiency by streamlining material handling and organisation. It reduces search time, minimises handling costs, improves inventory tracking, and optimises space with a stackable design. Additionally, it protects valuable components and can be customised to meet specific industry needs, making it an ideal solution for manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace operations.

A kitting media stillage can be used across various industries where organised material handling, efficient workflow, and secure storage are essential. Key industries include:

1. Automotive Manufacturing

• Organises and transports parts for vehicle assembly.
• Reduces production downtime by keeping components easily accessible.

2. Aerospace & Aviation

• Stores and transports precision components safely.
• Ensures efficient kitting for aircraft assembly and maintenance.

3. Logistics & Warehousing

• Optimises storage and retrieval processes for order fulfillment.
• Reduces handling time and improves inventory management.

4. Electronics & Technology

• Protects delicate components from damage during handling.
• Organises parts for streamlined assembly and production.

6. Defence & Military

• Stores and transports critical equipment and components securely.
• Streamlines logistics in high-demand environments.

Kitting media stillage enhance workshop efficiency with a customisable design, adjustable compartments, and various size options. Their mobility allows easy handling, while stackable and collapsible features optimise space. They improve workflow by keeping tools and materials organised, ensuring quick access. Additionally, they protect sensitive components, enhance safety, and adapt to diverse applications across multiple industries.

Having kitting media stillages is important because they streamline operations, improve organisation, and enhance efficiency in various industries. Here’s why they are essential:

1. Improved Workflow & Productivity

• Keeps all necessary components in one place, reducing time spent searching for parts.
• Ensures production kits are ready, minimising delays in assembly or manufacturing.

2. Reduced Handling & Labor Costs

• Simplifies material movement, reducing unnecessary handling and manual sorting.
• Helps workers quickly access the right parts, improving overall productivity.

3. Optimised Space & Organisation

• Stackable and compact designs maximise available workspace.
• Keeps work areas clean and structured, reducing clutter and enhancing safety.

4. Enhanced Inventory Control

• Allows for better tracking of materials, preventing shortages and overstocking.
• Reduces the risk of misplacing or losing critical components.

5. Protection & Safety

• Prevents damage to delicate or high-value components.
• Reduces the risk of workplace injuries caused by loose or misplaced items.

6. Industry Versatility & Customisation

• Can be tailored for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and logistics.
• Designed with different load capacities, compartments, and mobility features to meet specific needs.

In short, kitting media stillages help businesses increase efficiency, reduce costs, and create a more organised and safer work environment.
