Warehouse racking is a material handling system designed for mass storage of goods on skids or pallets. It allows for more efficient space utilization while also providing easy access to stockpiled items for better inventory control. Manufacturers make use of racks for mass storage of mostly non-perishable products when storage space is limited. For example, palletized products are typically stacked no more than three layers high before becoming unsafe and prone to collapse. A Racking Al Ain allows the manufacturer to store palletized products up to five to seven stacks high, depending on the available height.
Racking systems is used for raw material and part storage in addition to finished goods handling. Selective racking can be designed to allow for the most number of items to be accessed while still allowing for a wide range of options. Furthermore, some distribution systems prefer the FIFO or first-in, first-out method of inventory control. A Racking Sharjah provides easy access to the oldest items in the warehouse inventory, off-loading them first.
Benefits of a Racking System
Aside from increased storage space, warehouse racking has several other advantages. These advantages can be quantified in economic value or savings from leasing additional storage space, reduced labor effort, and increased throughput. Compliance with safety standards and quality management, on the other hand, are value-added factors that do not directly translate to savings. The advantages of a warehouse racking system are listed below.
Storage space utilization that is efficient- As previously stated, racking uses otherwise unused vertical space. Therefore, warehouses designed to house racks have high ceilings to accommodate racks with higher bays.
Simple inventory management- In comparison to stockpiling, racks can be quickly addressed. Stockpiling makes it nearly impossible to store goods with many distinct varieties without taking up a large amount of floor space. Selective racking is a type of racking system that allows the storage of various goods while consuming the least amount of space.
Automation of storage: The first step toward warehouse automation is to adapt a racking system. This is accomplished by combining smart conveyor systems with guided forklifts and cranes. This can result in significant cost savings in labor and streamline the business process, particularly for large distribution centers.
