A Minomi is commonly referred to as a nut without the shell in the automotive sector. Material is delivered to the point of use and presented to the operator for a single point pick without a container. It’s commonly used in sequencing centers for parts picking by the operator in cross aisle material handling.
This multi-purpose cart is light weight and universal in the automotive industry. Some advantages of using a Minomi cart are reduced damage to parts, reduced ergonomic problems, reduced number of process steps (time efficient) for material handling and reduction in space requirements at the assembly stations.
