The fashion industry's warehouses face several unique challenges, stemming from the fast-paced nature of the industry and the specific characteristics of clothing.
Challenges facing the fashion industry’s warehouses
Solutions from stow for the fashion warehouse
Overcoming these challenges requires a focus on automation and efficient order fulfilment processes.
Storage solutions from stow for the fashion industry include light weight shelving which can be custom built and accessorised with clothing/garment hangers and can also store boxes. Hanging and flat pack apparel storage is also achievable. Conveyors and multi-tier or mezzanine floors can be employed for sectioning the space and moving products without human intervention.
Additional space without losing floor space
The Mezza-stow® system has been developed for the construction of system floors. Unlike conventional steel constructions, it can be easily expanded, moved or modified for future requirements. Combined with a full range of accessories, such as staircases, handrails and safety gates, it lends itself to use in almost any situation: multitier flooring systems, shelving and pallet racking systems combined with flooring, etc.
An AS/RS system for totes, cartons or trays
stow’s automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS), called the Miniload Multi-Store, is used for storing totes, cartons or trays (goods) in a beam typed rack. With depth supports between the beam, the goods can be stored. The advantage of this system is that different sizes (width/depth/height) of goods can be stored within the same system.
Increase storage capacity up to 90%
Where storage space is expensive or scarce, for example in cold stores, mobile racking is the perfect solution. Adding pick & deposit stations on the ends of your stow Mobile mobile racking system might further increase the warehouse efficiency, resulting in a higher return on investment.
Each mobile racking and storage system can increase capacity up to 90% compared to conventional pallet racking systems and may lead to a significant decrease in lighting, heating or cooling costs.
