FIFO Buffer as intermediate storage system

A FIFO Buffer (First In - First Out Buffer) is a material flow-oriented intermediate storage system that stores materials, containers or load carriers in the order in which they arrive and makes them available again in the same order. It is primarily used to supply downstream processes, such as assembly or picking stations, in the correct sequence. A clearly recognizable material flow creates transparency and prevents overproduction and waste.
