Multi-level automated storage
Multi-level automated storage
In inventory management, the efficient storage of goods is essential. It influences both stock turnover and various workflow processes. The most common type of storage is flat storage. However, this method is only suitable for relatively small inventories. To increase stock capacity, multi-level storage systems can be used. These contribute to higher storage density and the optimization of overall intralogistics.
What is a multi-level storage system?
A multi-level storage system is a specialized version of traditional flat storage and serves as an extension of it. A key advantage of this type of storage is the use of vertical space. Multiple flat storage levels can be stacked vertically to efficiently utilize height while occupying very little floor space. This type of storage is ideal for small storage halls or areas with high article volumes.
Advantages and disadvantages of a multi-level storage system
Advantages:
- Efficient use of available height
- Possibility of vertical expansion
- With the Hänel Lean-Lift®, storage logistics become more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective
- Saves space, time, and costs
- Efficient warehouse organization and raw material supply
- Improved ergonomics in warehouse logistics
Disadvantages:
- Special intralogistics requirements are necessary
- Access to upper levels requires lifts, stairs, or ramps
- Depending on the configuration, fast transport may be limited
Areas of application for multi-level automated storage
High-bay warehouses can be used in many sectors: manufacturing, industry, metalworking, healthcare, and administration. All kinds of goods can be stored — including sterile tools for hospital or clinical logistics.
