Warehouse Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Automation Analysis
A large component of distribution center throughput capacity revolves around the strategy you employ in moving goods through your facility and on to your ultimate consumer. Warehouse design must maximize the efficiency of these strategies. They range from simplistic to complex. Which strategies to use depend on factors such as:
- Commodity being shipped
- Constraints of the facility
- Available capital
- Labor constraints
- Client requirements
The possibilities seem endless so the question becomes: “What strategy is right for your warehouse design?” Conveyor, sortation, AS/RS, pick modules, flow rack, pallet rack, or just simple floor layouts, the resources at Waller & Associates have worked with each of these and more in a variety of scenarios. It would be a privilege to see how our experience could be analogous to yours, and assist you with constructing a workable warehouse design custom tailored to your business.
As an independent consultant that doesn’t sell material handling equipment it’s about the solution, not the equipment.
