Optimize Storage

Optimize Space with Storage

Can you get more storage from your warehouse space? The first step is to examine inventory. Calculate the pallets per item for each item.

If the average pallet inventory for a given item exceeds eight, the storage for that item can be optimized with deep storage.

How does deep storage optimize space?

Deep rack devotes more floorspace to storage and less floorspace to aisles.

The space needed to store 1,000 pallets in space is reduced when single-deep rack is exchanged for 2-deep, 4-deep, or deeper solutions.

How do you go forward?

Decide which deep storage solution(s) to use. Assign items to storage type. Consider the operation needs and budget feasibility. Obey inventory policies. Create an analysis that looks like this:

Calculate pallets per item and sort the items by the number of pallets. Assign each item to an appropriate storage type.

Compare deep storage results

Compare the space needed for deep storage to your standard storage. The impact might surprise you!

The example shows a deep storage solution uses 22% less space than a standard storage solution.
