📦📈 Case Study: Freestanding Storage Platform System for Leading Telecommunications Company
Background:
A leading Fortune 500 telecommunications company located in Bellmawr, NJ faced a storage challenge. Their DC was nearing its storage capacity. With an extensive network and the need for quick inventory turnover, the company sought to optimize their warehouse space.
Objective:
Maximize storage capacity within the current facility, cater to increasing inventory demands, streamline operations, and avoid costs and disruptions associated with relocation or building expansion.
Solution:
Storage Coordinators proposed a Freestanding Storage Platform System. This solution provided:
1. Vertical Space Utilization: A second-tier was added, maximizing vertical space and increasing storage potential without altering the existing structure.
2. Operational Efficiency: The new platform level facilitated the creation of specialized zones for various tasks.
3. Safety and Accessibility: The freestanding mezzanine came equipped with IBC stairs and handrails - ensuring safe and easy access to the platform.
Pushback Rack Flow System: The platform incorporated a Pushback Rack Flow System. This LIFO approach ensures efficient space utilization by allowing deep-lane storage of pallets. Pre-owned skatewheel tracks resulted in a 50% cost savings. Center rail was added to each lane which evenly distributes the pallet weight and accommodates suboptimal pallets.
Results:
1. Enhanced Storage Capacity: The combined mezzanine and Pushback Rack Flow System significantly increased storage capacity - negating the need for facility expansion. Storage: 10 Lanes 11 Pallets Deep Flow Rail - 3 Lanes 10 Pallets Deep Flow Rail - storing (140) total pallet positions.
2. Improved Workflow: Efficient storage layout and inventory retrieval led to improved inventory management and streamlined order processing.
3. Cost Efficiency: By utilizing the existing facility space and incorporating cost-saving measures like pre-owned skatewheel material, flooring, and stairs, the company averted major expenses related to relocation or constructing a new warehouse.
4. Adaptability: The modular mezzanine design offers flexibility for future adjustments or expansions as company needs evolve.
Conclusion:
The Freestanding Storage Platform Mezzanine System combined with the Pushback Rack Flow System's efficiency became a valuable asset. It solved immediate storage concerns, improved operational processes, and ensured adaptability for future expansion, underscoring the benefits of utilizing vertical warehouse space.
