Mounting Room Workflow
Keep the mounting room ahead of the press.
Sleeves found. Plates protected. Jobs staged. Fewer workarounds.
This path is for the person who works in the room every day and needs a system that works.

What Gets Better
Turn daily mounting-room work into a repeatable flow.
The room gets clear locations, cleaner staging, protected plates, and sleeve flow the team can repeat.
Expansion
Fit more into the room you already have.
Before the plant spends millions on another building, make the existing mounting-room footprint work harder.
Retention
Take daily frustration out of the work.
A cleaner sleeve system lets employees focus on the work they enjoy instead of sorting through a disorganized mess.
Retrieval confidence
The next sleeve is easy to find.
The sleeve has a known home, a visible status, and a direct path back to the next job.
Cleaner staging
Jobs are staged with what they need.
The room can stop pulling extra, stacking extra, and holding extra just to protect the schedule.
Protected plates
Plate sets stay easier to handle.
Cleaner storage habits reduce exposure, over-stacking, and the handling problems that show up later at press.
Better sleeve flow
Sleeves stay upright and ready to move.
Vertical storage and purpose-built movement keep sleeves organized without slowing retrieval.
ADA-Compliant Floor Tracks
Dense storage should still be easy to move through.
Flexopodz floor tracks keep mobile sleeve, plate, and ink storage controlled without turning aisle access into the hard part of the job.
ADA-compliant
Low-profile tracks keep the aisle accessible.
Surface-mounted floor tracks use a low, beveled profile designed for ADA-compliant passage, so people and carts can move through the room without a trip hazard. The same track approach is used in safety-sensitive spaces like libraries and museums.
Controlled movement
The load stays stable on the floor.
Precision rails guide each carriage, while anti-drift and anti-sway features help the system open smoothly and stay where it belongs.
Expandable layout
Add capacity without starting over.
Floor-track systems can grow with the room, giving the plant a modular path before committing to a larger building or disruptive construction.
Mobile Storage
Flexopodz floor tracks versus overhead mobile shelving.
Same storage problem. Two very different ways to move through it.
Bottom line
Flexopodz keeps the load on the floor, moves the room with controlled handles, and keeps daily aisle access predictable.
Compare
Movement
Flexopodz floor-track system
Mechanical-assist handles move multiple carriages with a light touch.
Overhead mobile shelving
Requires heavy manual pushing.
Compare
Throughput
Flexopodz floor-track system
Multiple carriages can move together to open the working aisle.
Overhead mobile shelving
Moves only one hanging shelf at a time.
Compare
Control
Flexopodz floor-track system
Anti-drift and anti-sway features keep shelves secure.
Overhead mobile shelving
No anti-drift or braking, creating injury exposure if someone is in the aisle.
Compare
Stability
Flexopodz floor-track system
Precision floor tracks keep movement stable and controlled.
Overhead mobile shelving
Overhead movement puts the load above the operator instead of on the floor.
Compare
Daily use
Flexopodz floor-track system
Designed to reduce strain, reduce risk, and make storage safer to use.
Overhead mobile shelving
More force and more exposure become part of the daily routine.
What Changes
The room gets a repeatable operating pattern.
01
Put inventory where mounters can find it.
SleevePodz and PlatePodz fit so much into a small footprint that the library can be compacted right next to the mounter.
02
Stage the job as one clean workflow.
Carts keep sleeves, plates, ink, and anilox movement tied to the job instead of spread across the room.
03
Make the status visible.
FlexOpz shows job stage, priority, and retrieval direction so the room is not run from memory, tribal knowledge, sticky notes, or repeated questions.
The Flow
One job should not require a room-wide search.
The target is simple: select the job, find the right asset, stage it, confirm it, and keep the room moving.
01
Job selected
02
Correct sleeve or plate located
03
Item retrieved without searching
04
Job staged in the right place
05
Mounter confirms what moved
