The storage of goods is a very important part of the process for most operations. Having effective storage solutions in place ensures that operations are streamlined and run smoothly with few disruptions, whilst maximising on all space available, leading to a reduction of costs and improved safety.

Making the most out of your space

Making the most out of the existing storage space you have is vital, not only does it help with boosting overall efficiency, it also helps with reducing costs.

Effective storage also means fewer journeys back and forth to various parts of the site. Fewer journeys means that less energy is being consumed, leading to an overall reduction of waste emissions. This also helps to create a safer environment, as less time is spent walking through potentially hazardous environments.

Space can be maximised through a well thought out racking solution which allows you to expand and increase the amount of pallet locations allowing you to store more, without having to spend on developing a larger site. An effective racking solution can help you improve space utilisation by up to 85%.

Safety

Safety is another very important factor that should always be taken into consideration. When goods are stored improperly, they can become hazardous to operators and pedestrians. Additionally, a lack of awareness when transporting goods to storage could lead to accidents.

Effective forklift operator training helps minimise accidents and ensures that operatives know the best practices when it comes to property storing goods.

Additionally, using an effective fleet management tool allows for safer handling and storage of goods. With features such as shock monitoring, manageable driver access and truck speed management, you can ensure that your trucks are being used efficiently and safely whilst minimising accidents.

Introducing Automation

Introducing automated solutions that can simplify point to point transport also helps to streamline operations. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) help with quicker transportation of goods to their required locations within the warehouse, whilst automated shuttles like Radioshuttle can save time when storing and retrieving pallets from racking channels.
