In order to have an optimized warehouse layout, it is first necessary to analyse the physical characteristics of the materials to be stored and moved. At this point, it is necessary to reduce this analysis in the warehouse context, trying to optimize the storage space as much as possible, compatibly with the handling needs.
For example, frequently taken items must be kept close to the warehouse headboard in order to minimize shifting inside the shelves. Alternatively, it is possible to customize the height of the storage compartments based on the different heights of the load units to be stored. Finally, it is possible to find solutions (even automated) that minimize the risk of loss of very small items.
Use all available space effectively
Inventory space management requires thinking in multiple directions, including vertical direction. With the right storage systems, it is possible to take advantage of the existing space rather than having to foresee new ones by adding square footage to the warehouse.
Using all the available vertical space allows you to save on handling costs, allowing a more efficient warehouse design. The right storage systems can make the difference in terms of operational efficiency.
Maximize the efficiency of material handling equipment
Appropriate material handling equipment can increase productivity and improve operator safety. It is necessary to make sure that the equipment is suitable for the loads to be moved, also including a certain safety margin. It is also important that the lanes of the warehouse are wide enough to allow an agile handling of the trucks and that the latter are equipped with safety lights and horns.
Material handling equipment is essential for operational efficiency, so it is necessary to prepare operators to check the equipment before changing it and regularly plan maintenance.
