Kardex highlights the importance of a balanced approach to automating small parts warehouses with moderate throughput in a new white paper, which uses twelve parameters and concrete examples to evaluate cost savings, quality improvements and the acceleration of processes.
The space- and cost-efficient storage and retrieval of small parts in containers with the shortest possible access times is a crucial competitive factor. With the right solution, replenishment requests from production or customer orders can be met quickly without compromising cost-effectiveness.
To select the most suitable automation solution, it is advisable to focus on the most important criteria. In addition to twelve decision parameters, ergonomics, energy efficiency, and sustainability are crucial. A number of solutions promise precisely these qualities. However, the warehouse systems available on the market vary considerably – a wide range of them are clearly explained and illustrated with practical examples in the white paper. This makes it clear that every warehouse requires a customized solution. Each approach, it is stated, offers different advantages and is therefore suited to different needs.
One thing is certain: there is no single warehouse system that meets all requirements. In every company, the situational analysis and the defined goals result in a unique constellation in which the individual criteria play different roles.
