The automotive industry's warehouses grapple with a unique set of challenges due to the complex nature of car parts and the ever-evolving automotive landscape. Nowadays, consumers can configure their car in detail before production and the necessary production steps are planned accordingly. This has a major impact on logistics and intralogistics.
Challenges facing the automotive industry’s warehouses
Solutions from stow for the automotive industry
Some storage of automotive parts must be capable of bearing very heavy load ratings. Strengthening the racking is possible by reinforcing frames and beams which can be customised to client requirements. stow’s pallet racking has a range of options to accommodate heavy and bulky SKU’s. Our wide range of beam profiles and reinforcement means our racking replies to the market norms.
Odd shaped stock is also typical in the automotive industry, so variable size racking is a common option.
Automotive parts do not necessarily need to be accessible at all times, so deep lane storage is an option for this industry as well.
Increased storage space with drive-in racks
Drive-in racking systems eliminate picking aisles and are the ideal solution for storing large quantities of identical pallets. The system provides safe block stacking for goods, that are not stable enough to be stacked one on top of the other. stow’s Pal Rack® system is particularly suitable to build drive-in installations. The upright widths of up to 140 mm allow us to build very high installations.
Save space, multiply storage area
With our Multi-tier shelving, you can easily expand the storage capacity of your warehouse without the need to automate. stow offers an intelligent industrial flooring system as an extension to the stowshelf® system to create multi-tiered shelving applications. Two types of industrial flooring systems are commonly used: either intermediate walkways or floor-over systems, or a combination of both.
Efficient and ultra-dense storage
Our Pallet Live Storage system provides efficient and ultra-dense storage of palletised goods with fewer aisles. This increases your storage capacity considerably. It can also be used to avoid unnecessary internal transport, bringing pallets from one point to another.
