These systems contribute to the economic development of the company, which seeks to find the best way to store products and goods through logistics.
Do you understand what storage systems are?
Storage systems are equipment developed for the purpose of organizing a stock and/or warehouse, classifying the materials found there, from basic characteristics such as weight, size and quantity, to more in-depth details.
One of the most common functionalities for the following types of systems that we will present to you is the storage of raw materials or finished products ready to enter the logistics process.
Ultimately, efficient and assertive inventory management is essential for processes to achieve the desired results. To this end, there are so-called storage systems, which comprise methods and tools designed to facilitate routine operations and improve outcomes.
What types of systems does Bertolini work with?
Pallet Racking – One of the most widely used storage systems by companies, pallet racking is easy and quick to handle, facilitates the retrieval of goods, and is adaptable to changes in size in relation to the space in which it is installed. Therefore, it is an essential tool for anyone working in warehousing.
Drive-In – Compact and cost-effective, the Drive-In System provides savings for storing large quantities of goods. Its use reduces storage space by up to 50%, and also provides gains in depth dimension in its structure.
Dynamic – Ideal for storing perishable products, the Dynamic system adds value to your inventory by ensuring increased productivity and a high turnover of goods.
Self-supporting – The self-supporting system reduces the need for common steps in the construction of a conventional warehouse, making your investment more profitable, i.e., shorter execution time compared to the conventional system, thus anticipating the return on invested capital.
Shelving – Used for storing and picking non-palletized loads, small items stored in plastic or cardboard boxes, among other individual or loose items, shelving enhances warehousing operations, offering better results to the company.
Mobile Storage Systems – With Mobile Storage Systems, companies operate more efficiently in their logistics processes for product storage. Designed for heavy loads, it is ideal for cold storage operations, as it adds selectivity and optimal use of available volume.
Satellite Car – The Satellite Car System enables high-density storage with multiple depths. Its operation is based on the FIFO (first in – first out) and LIFO (last in – first out) principles. It is an excellent alternative to Drive-In, Dynamic, and Push Back systems.
Mezzanine – Attributes such as safety, quality, and efficiency offer the best in space utilization. It features a fully demountable and reusable structure. It can be moved, therefore offering endless possibilities for use, making it a profitable system.
Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) – The AS/RS system automates the movement of cargo and goods through a software system, reducing delivery time and improving cost-effectiveness for the company.
Why is it important to use excellent storage systems?
Storage systems are an important tool for any company's logistics. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize excellent storage systems and establish measures for the correct use of space, ensuring lower costs and less capital for investment in improvements.
To achieve this, certain steps are essential, such as:
The planning
The storage system is based on good planning, requiring the maintenance of technical and physical conditions to adapt to the particularities of each warehouse, guaranteeing the safety required by law and the physical characteristics of the location, which must be suitable for the items that will be stored there.
– The flow of materials
Did you know that the flow of materials in a storage system should be as simple as possible? Yes, because with inputs and outputs, the ideal is always to plan the flow of materials to increase productivity and agility, thus avoiding potential bottlenecks. The structure needs to be planned to accommodate the largest possible quantity of items, taking into account their movement, location, and the aisles and crosswalks of the warehouse.
– Control of the storage system
Any and all storage systems are best guaranteed when all stored material is managed and controlled in order to maintain indicators to analyze whether the methods applied are efficient or not. This is because the main function of a storage system is to ensure the development, control, and automatic management of processes; with these sequences organized, there is greater ease in controlling warehouse goods.
The use of these systems contributes to the economic development of the company, which seeks to find the best way to store products and goods through logistics!
