Case Study

Growing Customer Requires Upgraded Conveyor System

The Situation

Do My Own pest control had outgrown their existing space and needed to expand into a new facility to allow their operations to match their customers’ increased demands. Storage Solutions designed and installed this client’s last two conveyor systems in previous facilities, and we were engaged as a partner once again to help them to reach their goals.

Where Storage Solutions Came In

Our client engaged us before they had selected their new facility so we could assist them in finding a warehouse that would best suit their needs. We brought in our engineers to evaluate the warehouse space and design a system that would achieve their goals before the customer had to commit to a lease.

Upon our customer acquiring the new space, our in-house installation team completed the mechanical and controls portion of the project inside the new facility from start to finish. A critical part of this project was interfacing the new software with their proprietary e-commerce and shipping software developed by the customer’s team to allow all new and existing systems to work together.

The Results

Our customer received a tailored system that addressed major bottlenecks in their workflow to allow an increase in employee efficiency, floor space, and order accuracy. Automated technologies such as automatic box formers, automatic print and apply applicators, and Cognex scanners were critical additions, along with the software integration to maximize the customer’s operational efficiency.

Final Thoughts

Building long-term relationships with our customers is a cornerstone of our business, and this project is an example of the trust built over time being put into action. Our technology-agnostic approach allows us to develop and design the best solutions to match each of our customers’ unique needs, every time.

Storage-Solutions has been a valuable partner and resource for Do My Own going on 15 years now. They have integrated multiple shipping lines and automation installations with our shipping systems. Their knowledge and industry leading expertise is always impressive, but we continue to rely on them for our logistics and automation needs because they always stand behind their work. High quality, fair pricing, and customer satisfaction has always been a focus for them and they continue to impress with their capabilities and the way they deliver the finished installation. We highly recommend their services for any company looking to make their warehouse more efficient.
