Multi-level warehouse (no room for expansion)
Problem
Limited storage space
In fast-growing industries, the demand for storage space grows with the number of orders and every inch of space is at a premium. In such situations, building a new warehouse can be costly and time-consuming. An alternative is to introduce multi-level solutions that make maximum use of the available space vertically, without the need for new construction.
Solution
Multi-level warehouse with automation systems
At Intralog, we design multi-level storage solutions to efficiently manage limited warehouse space. Our systems are designed to maximize warehouse capacity by adding additional levels, allowing more goods to be stored in the same space. We think about maximizing the use of height and possible future expansion possibilities.
With Intralog, you stand to gain:
