How will tomorrow’s automated warehouse solutions help businesses achieve more, with less? It’s no longer merely about square meterage; it’s about reimagining space, optimising processes, and embracing innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, security, and sustainability. This shift towards “the warehouse of tomorrow” is driven by ensuring every inch of space work harder and smarter. With this in mind, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) are no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS):
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems are the cornerstone of automated warehouse solutions, revolutionising the way goods are stored and retrieved. Industore’s solutions, such as the Lean-Lift and Rotomat (below), epitomise the future of warehousing by maximising storage capacity within a minimal footprint. These systems not only enhance efficiency or reduce the storage footprint required, but ensure security and accountability with features like PIN access and comprehensive audit logs.
Vertical Lift Module: Lean-Lift
Industore’s leading vertical lift module maximises storage in minimal space. A computer-controlled extractor retrieves items from optimised shelves, enhancing picking speed, throughput and ergonomics.
Vertical Carousel Module: Rotomat
Industore’s premier vertical carousel maximises storage on a minimal footprint. Its Ferris wheel design swiftly brings items to operators, improving order fulfilment and ergonomics while reducing injuries.
A rose by any other name:
There’s a chance you haven’t heard the term AS/RS (or automated storage and retrieval systems) before but, there’s an even better chance you’ve heard it referred to by another name, such as “dynamic storage systems”, “high-density storage and retrieval systems”, or “goods-to-person picking technology”, for example. Terminology aside, automated warehouse solutions are regularly equipped with Industore’s Lean-Lifts and Rotomats, which help organisations of all shapes and sizes achieve this underlying goal: to improve transparency, throughput, forecasting, and ordering processes, to name but a few.
What is Interior Warehouse Logic?
Industore is part of the Richard H Powell and Partners Group – experts in efficiency and interior logic. This is the careful orchestration of layout, throughput, and design. Industore’s solutions go beyond mere automation; they offer comprehensive strategies to optimise warehouse space and productivity. By integrating traditional and automated storage solutions with warehouse management systems (WMS) HanelSoft (our proprietary system), Industore ensures seamless operation and 100% traceability of inventory. This holistic approach not only boosts efficiency and throughput, but also enhances accuracy, transparency, and inventory control, enabling businesses to better forecast for the future.
Flexibility for Automated Warehouse Solutions of Tomorrow:
Warehouse efficiency knows no bounds, and Industore’s solutions cater to diverse environments, from healthcare institutions to food and beverage companies. Whether it’s maintaining cleanliness standards in a pharmaceutical setting or preserving temperature-sensitive inventory in a food storage facility, Industore ensures optimal performance in all environments.
Pioneering the Future with Hänel’s Storage Solutions:
For over a quarter of a century, Industore has been the exclusive partner of Hänel GmbH, widely regarded as the leading manufacturer of AS/RS worldwide. Hänel’s automated lift systems offer a wide range of benefits, streamlining and increasing order-picking processes thanks to Pick-o-Light technology, uninterrupted operation with the Hänel ESB (expanded safety bypass), comprehensive inventory management with HänelSoft (WMS), and eco-friendly features that harness kinetic energy and reduce energy consumption…to name but a few.
Embracing the Future: Optimising Warehouse Efficiency:
