Efficiency leap Precision and stability
Efficiency
Racking systems must maximize the use of available space. By utilizing both floor and vertical dimensions effectively, warehouses can store more items in a given area. Additionally, compatibility with material handling equipment such as forklifts ensures smooth operations, reducing downtime. Modular designs further contribute to efficiency by enabling easy assembly, reconfiguration, and maintenance as business needs evolve.
Precision
Tailored designs are essential for precise storage of various products, whether standard pallets or irregularly shaped items. Standardized dimensions ensure compatibility across systems and simplify inventory management. Enhanced visibility through open designs and clear labeling allows workers to locate and retrieve items quickly, reducing errors and saving time.
Stability
Stability is crucial for safety and long-term durability. High-quality materials and robust construction ensure racks can handle heavy loads without deformation. Even load distribution prevents stress points and maintains structural integrity. Proper anchoring to the floor and regular inspections ensure racks remain secure and reliable, even under dynamic warehouse conditions.
Key Selection Factors
- Storage Space: Analyze and optimize the use of both floor and vertical space to maximize storage potential without compromising accessibility.
- Load Requirements: Select racks designed to handle the specific weight, size, and type of stored goods, ensuring safety and efficiency.
- Scalability: Choose systems that can adapt and expand with your business, minimizing the need for costly overhauls.
- Safety Standards: Adhere to local and international safety regulations to ensure the well-being of employees and the protection of stored goods.
- Workflow Compatibility: Design racking systems to align seamlessly with your operational processes, enhancing productivity and reducing unnecessary handling.
Target Capacity
Knowing the target capacity means determining the target warehouse capacity utilization. Warehouse capacity utilization is an important key performance indicator (KPI) in a business process, especially for logistics and distribution centers. Having too high a capacity has its drawbacks of higher investment and operating costs. Having too low means less room in case of distribution difficulties or overproduction. Also, consider storage space taken by seasonal inventory. Warehouse capacity utilization can substantially increase during the off-seasons.
Volume of Incoming and Outgoing Goods
This is linked to the target capacity of a storage system. It is important to know the throughput of the manufacturing plant and the rate at which the goods are sold or off-loaded. Aside from these, determine the average duration of seasons with low demand. Usually, manufacturing plants have a minimum throughput or breakeven point. Low storage space can result in halting or lowering the rate of production, which in turn impacts profitability.
Number of SKUs
A stock keeping unit, or models, the number of distinct types of goods. It can also refer to the code or designation given to a specific item for inventory management. Determining the number of SKUs to be stored will help balance between selectivity and storage density of a warehouse racking system. Prioritizing either selectivity or storage density will determine which type of racking system is required.
Rack Storage Systems
Type of Inventory Accounting Method: Regarding storage racking systems, this can be FIFO (first-in, first-out) or LIFO (last-in, first-out). Inventory cost accounting might not be representative of the physical off-loading of goods. Intuition suggests that the oldest item stored must be taken out first so that there will be no stagnant items that can lose value. However, some businesses use LIFO, which off-loads the most recent goods first. Off-loading from a stockpile of material will usually draw the most recent item added to the pile.
Investment and Operating Costs
This is perhaps the most important factor for determining the feasibility of using warehouse racking systems. Costs per pallet position typically have range from $50 to $100 for low-density, high-selectivity racking systems and $100 to $250 for high-density, low-selectivity racking systems. For existing warehousing systems that have other options of acquiring additional storage space, such as warehouse extension or leasing storage spaces, it is best to determine the economic benefit of adapting racking systems. The high investment can be offset by savings in operating costs such as decreased manpower, savings from space rentals, etc. Also account for intrinsic benefits such as safety, ergonomics, and compliance with regulatory requirements, which can ultimately affect profitability.
The considerations when designing storage racks include:
Pallet Size and Type
When developing the arrangement of a pallet racking system, it's important to keep in mind the weight and dimensions of the pallets (length, height, and width). The most common pallet size (40" x 48") is universally compatible with the majority of systems. Pallet dimensions, such as rack depth and upright height, can be determined using this information. If the items are palletized, the type of pallet racking system required may be influenced by the sort of palletized items:
If specific environmental conditions are required.
If they're delicate and can't be stacked.
Are they date-sensitive or do they have an expiration date?
Pallet Count and SKU
The amount of SKUs and pallets per SKU in a warehouse plays a big role in deciding what kind of pallet racking system you'll require. Selective pallet racking can be used in facilities with only one pallet per SKU since it allows for variety in SKUs while keeping them easily accessible. A higher-density storage solution, such as drive-in or push-back pallet racking, may be appropriate for facilities with many pallets per SKU. Pallet flow racking is an option for facilities with many pallets per SKU and needs FIFO inventory retrieval.
Environment of the Warehouse
Depending on the type of climate your products demand, the cost of your racking system will vary. Products can be kept in a number of different settings, including:
Temperatures that are cold (freezer or cooler)
Temperature control
Temperature in the environment (products do not require a particular temperature)
Building Structure
The project price, timeframe, available warehouse space, and other factors may be affected by whether a pallet racking system is planned as a retrofit to an existing facility or placed into a newly constructed building. Other key issues for the building's structure include:
Column spacing – In order to "hide" your buildings' support columns in the area between back-to-back rows of racking, you must be aware of their location and separation from one another.
Interior ceiling height determines the maximum height of your uprights and beam levels.
The size and location of dock doors are important considerations.
Warehouse space that is available.
Facility's Material Handling Equipment
The size and kind of material handling equipment such as lift truck, forklift, or man-up order picker used to retrieve pallets determine aisle width and the quantity of racking rows. A normal counterbalance forklift, for example, would require a 12-foot aisle, whereas man-up order pickers may operate in considerably shorter spaces. It is desirable to design a warehouse with as few aisles as possible, as this provides for the most storage space.
