Flow rack design systems and methods

摘要

A method of providing a flow rack system design using a flow rack design application is provided. The method includes selecting a first tier menu item from a plurality of first tier menu items saved in memory using a computer. A second tier menu item is selected, wherein the second tier menu item has project level standards information associated with the second tier menu item saved in memory. A virtual flow rack system is generated using the computer, the project level standards information and parts information saved in memory.

1. A method of providing a flow rack system design using a flow rack design application to produce a usable, physical flow rack system for placement and use as designed in an industrial facility, comprising:
selecting a first tier menu item from a plurality of first tier menu items saved in a database memory using a computer, wherein each first tier menu item has location level standards information associated therewith, the location level standards information being associated with a preselected geographic location; adding a second tier menu item wherein the second tier menu item includes the location level standards information by default; modifying the location level standards information thereby generating project level standards information associated with the second tier menu item and saving the project level standards information in the database memory; identifying a modifiable parts list comprising parts information; generating a user interactive virtual flow rack system using the computer, the parts information and the project level standards information; and meeting ergonomic standards associated with the project level standards information such that the density of the virtual flow rack system is optimized.
