What Are The Requirements For Warehouse Automation?

  • Optimally, the processes should be able to be run constantly 24/7 

  • with little to no variance in the season or other high peak times

  • to ensure long-term stability, the warehouse must have a clear understanding of the necessary requirements for containers, batch sizes, and throughput.

When conditions in the warehouse cannot meet the standards of an automated warehouse, manual processes must be implemented. There are storage systems that offer the benefits of manual storage, such as scalability and adaptability to the physical structure of the warehouse.

The automated systems or automated storage and retrieval systems are often cost-effective for small quantities and offer high utilization of space. The Shuttle warehouse is easily scalable and can be flexibly expanded. Lastly, an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) has the potential to increase storage and retrieval performance, as well as offer flexible adaptability to the material flow.
