Our client’s most significant pain point was understanding how best to solve their need for efficiently moving products while still maximizing the facility’s storage with a new product line. Although the client did not have all the data necessary for a complete analysis, our Solutions Engineering team was able to use real-world operations experience and industry knowledge to fill in the gaps.

While developing a project roadmap, our Solutions Engineering and National Accounts teams enlisted our partners to provide options, including a mix of storage and dynamic solutions, with a plan to achieve a financial return from these capital expenditures. For this project, the options included VNA single selective rack, dense storage, pallet shuttles, and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). We also provided estimates on equipment and labor installation time and how alternate layouts could affect their future labor costs with additional throughput.
