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:
- Mezzanines and multilevel systems – building mezzanines allows for the addition of extra levels to existing storage space, maximizing usable area without needing to expand the building. Products can be stored on several levels, and transport between them is carried out using conveyors or elevators.
- Automated conveyors and elevators - Automatic conveyor and elevator systems enable efficient transport of goods between levels. This allows for a rapid flow of goods between different warehouse zones, significantly increasing operational efficiency and eliminating the need for manual handling of goods.
- Integration with warehouse management systems (WMS) – Multilevel warehouses can be fully integrated with WMS (Warehouse Management System) master systems, ensuring real-time control over goods, their location, and optimizing picking and shipping processes. This solution.
Effects
Optimize space and increase operational efficiency
- Effective Space Management – Multi-level Storage Solutions enable storing more goods in the same area, which eliminates the need for facility expansion and allows for increased storage capacity.
- Reduce lead times - Automated conveyors and elevators enable fast transport of goods between levels, which speeds up order fulfillment and reduces logistics operation times. Everything available under one roof.
- Reduction of operating costs – Multi-level solutions allow for better management of warehouse space, which reduces costs associated with renting or building additional facilities. Process automation also minimizes the number of employees needed.
