STOP DESIGNING FULFILLMENT CENTERS BACKWARDS.

Warehouse automation gets planned. Conveyors get positioned. Robotics get integrated.

And THEN someone figures out where the storage goes.

Thatโ€™s a costly mistake.

Poor warehouse storage planning can lead to wasted space, inefficient picking paths, congested workflows, expensive redesigns, and installation delays.

Storage shouldnโ€™t be an afterthought. It should be part of the design from DAY ONE.

At Borroughs, we work with warehouse system integrators, fulfillment center operators, and distribution center project teams to engineer industrial shelving and storage solutions that support the entire operation.

Because warehouse efficiency starts with smarter storage design.

Whether youโ€™re planning a new fulfillment center, expanding a distribution center, or integrating warehouse automation, your storage system plays a critical role in inventory movement, space utilization, and order fulfillment efficiency.

DESIGN STORAGE FIRST. BUILD SMARTER SYSTEMS.

Read our latest Engineered to Integrate article, โ€œWhy Storage Should Be Designed First, Not Last,โ€ to learn why industrial storage belongs at the beginning of the fulfillment center design process.

You've planned the automation.
You've mapped the conveyors.
You've positioned the robotics.

Now you're trying to squeeze storage into whatever space is left?

Your warehouse storage layout determines how inventory moves, how efficiently orders are picked, and how the entire fulfillment operation performs.

Get it wrong, and you're dealing with wasted space, inefficient workflows, expensive redesigns, and unnecessary delays.

In most fulfillment projects, the design process follows a predictable pattern. Automation gets the spotlight.

WE DIDNโ€™T JUST REDESIGN THE SHELF. WE REINVENTED HOW WE MAKE IT.โฃ
โฃ
When youโ€™re serious about building better industrial shelving, you start with how itโ€™s manufactured.โฃ
โฃ
Thatโ€™s why Borroughs made a major investment in an entirely new, state-of-the-art shelf manufacturing system at our Kalamazoo, Michigan facility.โฃ
โฃ
Greater precision. Tighter tolerances. More consistent manufacturing. All engineered to deliver a better Box Edge Plus shelf.โฃ
โฃ
The result? Our new Ribbed Box Edge Plus profile, engineered for increased shelf capacity, improved fit, and easier installation.โฃ
โฃ
BETTER MANUFACTURING. BETTER SHELVING. BETTER RESULTS.โฃ
