Industrial Shelving: A Guide to Choosing the Optimal Solution for Your Automated Warehouse
The efficiency of a warehouse depends on several factors. One of these refers to the way one chooses to organise and optimise the storage space of a warehouse. As we saw in our article “Maximise Your Warehouse Efficiency: State-of-the-Art Storage Systems“, the choice between industrial shelving can have a significant impact on operational efficiency and overall costs. Automated industrial racking is an evolution of more traditional racking and allows goods to be released in precise locations using automated lifting equipment such as pallet stacker cranes or miniloads. In general, the use of industrial shelves allows the automation of the processes of goods entry and exit from the storage channels, replacing operator-driven forklifts with fully autonomous lifting equipment.
Industrial shelving: cutting-edge technology to maximise efficiency
The industrial shelving are designed for optimise space and improve operational efficiency in warehouses modern and have certain characteristics:
- Automation warehouse racks can incorporate automated systems for picking and placing goods, reducing dependence on manual labour and increasing the accuracy and speed of operations.
- Scalability In the case of warehouse expansions, industrial racking is also scalable and, depending on the technology used, allows for easy expansion as required.
- Integration with software: the warehouse management software (WMS) and other control systems, e.g. WCS, interface with automation within industrial racking to manage the traceability of goods, optimise workflows and improve visibility and control over inventory
- Reduced errors: Thanks to the advanced technology of picking and process automation, warehouse racking helps to reduce picking errors and improve inventory accuracy.
Advantages of automated industrial racking?
Deciding to equip your warehouse with automated industrial shelving depends on several factors such as:
- he volumes of goods;
- typology;
- the available budget
In concrete terms, what are the advantages of this type of shelving?
Errevi Automation's solutions
There are several types of technologies applicable to warehouse shelves offered by Errevi.
- Stacker Cranes, handling robots for storage-intensive automated warehouses that can be customised according to the load units to be handled (reels, boxes, long bodies, plates, pallets or other load units with similar characteristics).
- Pallet shuttle Navistar, a multi-depth pallet storage system consisting of shuttle and satellite. The mother shuttle runs on rails perpendicular to the accumulation channels, positioning itself at the level of the warehouse where the pallet is to be picked up. The satellite, on the other hand, picks up the pallets in the accumulation channels.
- Miniload Titan are designed to optimise storage space and ensure high performance by optimising picking and depositing times for materials to be handled such as boxes, totes and trays.
Which industrial shelving is best suited to your needs?
The types of industrial shelving are manifold and there are often many variables to consider. Contact us for a consultation and we will choose the right storage strategy to maximise operational efficiency and optimise workflows in your warehouse.
