Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Intralogistics

The coordinated movement, storage and handling of goods inside a warehouse or distribution centre - receiving, put-away, picking, packing and dispatch - which is the core scope of InSklad Kyiv.

2

Selective pallet racking

The most common adjustable-beam racking system, giving direct access to every pallet position; exhibitors at IEC Kyiv present beam, upright and accessory ranges with load and height specifications.

3

AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval system)

Computer-controlled cranes, shuttles or lifts that store and retrieve pallets, trays or totes without manual intervention; commonly paired with a WMS on warehouse automation stands.

4

Radio shuttle / pallet shuttle racking

High-density racking where a motorised shuttle carries pallets along rails inside the channel, removing the need for forklift access to each pallet position.

5

Mezzanine and multi-tier racking

Elevated floors or rack-supported platforms that add picking or storage levels inside the same building footprint, often using the racking itself as the structure.

6

WMS (warehouse management system)

Software that directs stock placement, picking routes, replenishment and stock accuracy across the warehouse; WMS and ERP integrations are a recurring theme on the show floor.

7

WCS / WES (warehouse control and execution systems)

The software layer between a WMS and physical automation - conveyors, shuttles, sorters and AMRs - that sequences device commands and balances workload.

8

AGV / AMR (automated guided vehicle / autonomous mobile robot)

Self-driving platforms that move totes, carts or pallets between zones; AMRs navigate without fixed tracks, while AGVs usually follow wires, tapes or reflectors.

9

Order picking methods

Batch, zone, wave and pick-to-light or voice-directed picking strategies used to raise lines per hour; the trade fair compares method choice against SKU profile and order structure.

10

Cross-docking

Flow-through handling where inbound goods are sorted and reloaded for outbound dispatch with little or no storage, requiring tight dock scheduling and labelling discipline.

11

Dock leveller and loading dock equipment

Hydraulic levellers, seals, shelters, dock bumpers and vehicle restraints that bridge trailer floor to warehouse floor; often exhibited together with sectional and high-speed doors.

12

Very narrow aisle (VNA) and reach trucks

Lift truck classes that trade aisle width for storage density; VNA trucks work in aisles of roughly 1.6-2.0 m with wire or rail guidance, while reach trucks serve wider selective racking.

13

Cantilever racking

Racking with load-bearing arms instead of beams, used for long goods such as pipes, profiles, timber and sheet material.

14

Conveyor and sortation

Fixed transport and sorting systems - belt, roller, tilt-tray, cross-belt and spiral conveyors - that link picking zones to packing and dispatch.

15

3PL / contract logistics

Third-party logistics providers who operate warehousing and fulfilment for brand owners; they are a key buyer group for racking, automation and WMS investment.

16

Slotting and inventory turnover

Slotting assigns SKUs to locations by velocity, size and affinity; better slotting raises inventory turnover and shortens pick paths without new capital equipment.

17

Pallet wrapping and load security

Stretch wrappers, strapping, edge protectors and anti-slip materials used to stabilise loads for transport; packaging consumables sit alongside the equipment halls.

18

Customs bonded warehouse

A storage facility where imported goods may be held before duty is paid; relevant for exhibitors importing equipment and for logistics providers serving cross-border trade.
