An ideal project for companies focused on storing non-palletized cargo.
What is a shelving system?
Shelving systems are designed for storing and picking smaller, generally non-palletized products, ideal for small items that can be stored in cardboard boxes or simply placed on shelves. This makes them very important for companies that handle the storage of small goods.
Furthermore, this system is considered an excellent solution for maintaining a company's storage in a very well-organized manner, guaranteeing as its main advantage the flexibility in its use for stocking processes. This allows for greater operational agility and the correct distribution of items according to their use.
What is your operating method?
The operation in this type of system is done manually, where the operator walks through aisles "collecting" the items needed to fulfill an order.
The system allows for automation when combined with an automated conveyor system; however, some companies store items of various types and sizes, and many of these products cannot be organized on pallets or other storage solutions. Therefore, the shelving system presents itself as an excellent solution for smaller items in larger quantities.
By using this system, it is still possible to replace obsolete products and make activities more efficient, improving control and making logistics faster.

Where is this system applied?
This type of system is widely used in industries or distributors that store individual or small items, such as in warehouses, auto parts stores, and stores with small items in general.
Regarding the structure for implementing this system, it can be installed on more than one floor, forming walkways with raised floors and stairs that connect the floors, allowing for better use of the available space.
In other words, when working with a shelving system within a company's warehouse, it's possible to keep items properly distributed, with better identification of when they need to be replenished, especially when the company is smaller and doesn't maintain an inventory management system.
