Is the stock management of your company complicated and it is necessary to introduce changes and improvements as soon as possible? Optimising stock management thanks to a storage warehouse is possible, and the results are evident in the short, medium and long term.
In industrial logistics and in commercial logistics, having an optimised warehouse is key to facilitating its management. And VALL’s prefabricated removable buildings are a solution that really helps you in these processes on a daily basis.
What starts well, it ends well. That's why the best way to initiate successful stock management is to design, distribute or layout the storage space of a warehouse from the pre-installation phase.
The layout of the floor plan will determine all the areas required for daily operations. Of course, the storage area. But also those for reception, loading and unloading, order preparation and dispatch, whether its international shipping or to the supply chain, depending on the particularities of your company and the type of warehouse in question. In the layout of the floor plan, another key point is the size of aisles. Choosing the right width to allow safe working without losing storage space is easier when starting from scratch in a new hall. This allows the use of compact storage systems without sacrificing the manoeuvrability of the handling equipment. It also allows automated systems and even mobile pallet racking to be used more efficiently.
The installation of accessories such as loading docks at key points facilitates operations such as cross docking, which can help you optimise stock management. In a new removable building, you can also decide where to place certain accessories so that they do not create barriers, such as light points. In addition, the choice of roof allows you to opt for a translucent enclosure that lets in natural light and requires fewer light points.
If you decide to buy or rent a prefabricated storage building, the layout of the warehouse plan allows you to achieve several important things:
Taking advantage of the vertical space in the prefabricated metal storage building is key if your goal is to optimise stock management. Are you losing storage space by not taking into account the opportunities provided by the height? When purchasing a prefabricated, removable aluminium or steel storage building, don't think in two dimensions, but in three. Take into account the opportunities that the height gives you. And make the most of them. Once you have chosen the height of the stock storage building you want, consider how you are going to make the most of the height. There are several interesting options from which to choose the right one for your company.
The use of high shelving is valid for the warehouse you already have but also a possibility for a new one. You must make sure that the design of the warehouse allows its use. At VALL we have prefabricated open-plan industrial buildings that allow their use by reducing the size and number of columns and choosing a good placement of these within the plant while maintaining their strength and stability. Take into account the requirements of the handling equipment and how long they will need to work with high loads.
In a new warehouse, the most efficient solution is the installation and use of self-supporting structures, as they allow automated operation with high load elevations. It should be noted that these solutions allow working with load lifts of around 40 metres in height, and that handling equipment is not an impediment to this. So they are a perfect solution when it comes to making the most of space at height. Moreover, if you want to expand your company's storage space and the location you have determined as ideal does not have many square metres available, this is the answer you were looking for. It allows you to make the most of it by gaining in height the cubic metres of storage you need.
If your company requires direct access to the product, this is a good way to take advantage of the space at height to improve stock management. It is easy to implement and especially interesting if your company handles a large variety of products with a flexible demand. Very interesting for logistics and distribution companies.
