Open grids keep air moving, so cans chill evenly and labels don’t get soggy. Crews wipe them down quick—less gunk, less smell. Swap “application” with use case, scenario, or purpose—same idea, better rhythm.
Pain points we hear
Temps swing; product warms up on promo days.
Shelves bow under heavy packs.
Restocks drag; staff fights shelf clips.
How we fix
Airflow-first mesh for steady temps.
Right gauge + frame channel so deflection stays low.
Tool-less adjust so teams re-slot heights in minutes.
Bulk matters when you roll out across regions. With ODM/OEM, you nail the fit, finish, and branding in one go. MOQ stays sane for pilots; scale when sell-through proves out.
Crates, stubby bottles, random seasonal SKUs—use narrow shelves to avoid dead space. Slot them above standard bays to catch odd sizes without redoing the whole planogram.
Service: spare policy; interchange with legacy SKUs; warranty terms language.
Schedule: pilot lot window, PPAP-ish sample if your QA wants.

Field Stories (short + scrappy)
Grocery cold aisle reset: Mixed cans, PET, wine. We used flat + slight-slope bays with front stops. Team flipped heights in under an hour. Not fancy, just smooth.
Coffee bar cooler: Narrow shelves above standard levels + FIFO can slides. Door-open time dropped; temps stayed stable; staff said “way less fumble.”
C-store pilot: Epoxy frames + polymer mats. Night crew pops mats out, wipes, done. Looks fresh every morning.
How QIAO runs Bulk OEM/ODM
Spec & sketch: send cabinet dims; we flag issues and fix drawings (some messy, it’s fine).
Prototype: dial pitch/gauge; test for bowing and tip.
Pilot lot: verify fit, load, cleaning time; lock the BOM.
Rollout: branded cartons, line-side docs, spares. We track DIFOT so you don’t chase ETAs.
