Automated warehouse racking systems can instantly give your warehouse more mileage per square area. Automated warehouse racks can radically trim your space requirements by up to 90 percent, according to Modula. They also significantly enhance the efficiency of your warehouse operations like no other storage systems can.
And, with automated racks in place, error rates for picking and storage are dramatically minimized–which means stored products are always available and within reach. There is also a huge impact on your normal throughput times. The total time involved in a full warehouse run–from the loading bay to the unloading point and down to the stacking of pallets–is made incredibly shorter by an automated warehouse racking system. The time savings directly translate to money savings.
Frequently Asked Questions – Automated Warehouse Racking Systems
- How does an automated warehouse racking system operate?
Answer 1: There is a warehouse management software that guides the process, and there’s also a control unit that takes all the entered commands and transmits them automatically. Once the system is fully set up for control of the storage and retrieval machine, no warehouse personnel presence is needed.
- Which parts of the warehouse operation get automated if you decide to install an automated warehouse racking system?
Answer 2: All parts and steps of the warehouse operation get automated. All these routine warehouse steps are accomplished without warehouse staff intervention: the start-up of the automated rack, the precise positioning before the rack, the lifting of the load, the lowering of the load, the stacking (if needed), and the conveyance to the designated pick-up station. Everything, essentially, runs automatically.
- How does your automated warehouse racking system work?
Answer 3: The automated warehouse racking system has a software that can be programmed according to warehouse needs in the computer control unit. Everything works seamlessly in conjunction with a shutter rack for storage as well as an electric monorail system (EMS) and a conveyor system for transport.
