When it comes to warehouse storage, conventional approaches such as pallet racking may seem cost-effective at first, but hidden costs and efficiency issues can quickly become evident. Our team at Donnegan Systems combines the advantages of automated warehouse solutions with space efficient vertical and horizontal storage that will have a transformative impact on both your operations and space.

Understanding Vertical Warehouse Storage:

Our vertical warehouse solutions are designed to organize and store inventory across multiple levels in rows. They come in various configurations and load capacities, typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum and can accommodate a wide range of inventory.

Challenges of Traditional Storage Solutions:

  • Conventional Shelving: Commonly used for storing small parts that can be manually picked, but it reduces productivity, wastes space, and poses safety hazards.
  • Pallet Racking: Requires forklifts, lacks flexibility, and demands wide aisles, limiting adaptability.
  • Compact or Narrow Aisle Shelving: Requires specialized equipment, lowers picking rates, and increases the risk of damage to goods.
  • Drive-in and Drive-Through Racking: Limits storage flexibility, slows down picking processes, and incurs higher installation costs.

Unlocking the Benefits of Automated Vertical Storage:

  • Increased Storage Capacity: Our automated solutions, unlike traditional manual systems, make the most of existing vertical and horizontal warehouse space, expanding overall storage capacity by up to 90%.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Automated systems significantly reduce picking time as inventory is automatically delivered to operators. With the ability to operate around the clock, wasting time is eliminated.
  • Improved Accuracy: Automated systems minimize the likelihood of human error, leading to greater picking accuracy and faster order fulfillment.
  • Optimized Space Utilization: By implementing automated warehouse solutions such as our Vertical Lift Modules, your warehouse layout becomes more efficient and organized, optimizing your space usage and workflow.
  • Enhanced Workplace Safety: When it come to automation, the risk of accidents such as overexertion and reaching for inventory in high or low areas is significantly reduced.
  • Advanced Inventory Control and Tracking: Our automated systems incorporate sophisticated inventory management software, providing real-time insights into stock levels and item movement. Accurate demand forecasting is instantly improved and better stock control becomes more achievable.
  • Designed for You: Our automated vertical and horizontal warehouse storage solutions can be tailored to fit various inventory types, sizes, and shapes, allowing for seamless adjustments as your business needs evolve.

They eliminate the need for expansive aisles, leading to a significant reduction in space requirements.
