High density storage systems

The lack of available space in warehouses is a major challenge for intralogistics operations. While many companies may consider expanding their warehouse or renting external storage, there are alternatives that can be implemented within existing logistics structures. Automation offers several solutions to achieve high density storage systems.

One potential approach to get high density storage systems is to add mezzanine floors to create additional space for storage racks. While this can increase vertical storage capacity, it can also lead to challenges with finding and accessing goods. In particular, this can result in increased picking times, as well as greater resource utilisation and higher personnel costs.

Automated intralogistics systems for pallets or totes are an efficient alternative to traditional storage solutions, requiring less floor space and providing high-density storage capabilities. These systems typically integrate inventory management and can operate continuously, minimising labour costs. Modular in design, they can be easily installed in existing warehouses. By implementing a high-performance automated storage system, warehouse operators can significantly increase storage capacity while optimising floor space usage, potentially freeing up space for other purposes. Such systems can reduce floor space requirements by up to 45%, making them an attractive option for companies seeking to maximise the efficiency of their warehouse operations.
