Creating an Efficient Warehouse Design with Metal Shelving

Metal shelving is an excellent choice for businesses that need to store a wide range of inventory in their warehouses, as these systems offer outstanding durability and versatile storage capacities. However, many business find that, over time, their storage systems become inefficient. This may be because a business has gradually expanded without a storage plan in place, improperly reorganized after seasonal storage surges, or a number of other issues.

By creating a plan that accounts for expansion and other changes in inventory, you’ll reduce labor requirements by making put-away and distribution efforts easier. Another factor to consider is how you arrange your metal shelving itself. Many businesses find that using the fishbone aisle design with interlocking diagonal aisles is the best strategy because it allows employees to access different points of the warehouse easily, both on foot and with heavy machinery.
