The challenge
An automotive company approached us for support in developing a comprehensive warehouse reorganisation plan. The objective was to streamline logistics operations, particularly product dispatch, and optimise the use of available space to create a dedicated area for processing finished products, which had previously been located in an external warehouse.
Automotive logistics project development
Our goal was to optimise warehouse space to accommodate a new dedicated area while maintaining operational efficiency. The challenge was to reconfigure the existing layout in a practical, effective way without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Following an assessment of the existing warehouse infrastructure, we proposed fitting the existing light-duty shelving with mobile bases. This would free up space for a dedicated finished-product processing area within the main warehouse.
We also installed an automated vertical storage system to improve the handling of highly sensitive small components. This solution not only freed up additional floor space but also ensured that items could be stored safely and kept well organised.
Benefits for the client
The main benefit was the ability to process finished products directly within the company’s own warehouse. Previously, this activity took place in an external facility, resulting in rental costs and slower order fulfilment.
Following the warehouse revamp, the customer was able to reduce costs by terminating the external facility lease, while significantly speeding up order processing and dispatch.
Installing an automated vertical storage system for highly sensitive small components also significantly reduced the risk of stock obsolescence.
