Warehouses in the retail and FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) industry face a unique set of challenges due to the high volume, fast-paced nature of these sectors, and the need to balance efficiency with accuracy.
By addressing these challenges and embracing new solutions, retail and FMCG warehouses can ensure efficient operations, meet customer demands, and contribute to the success of their businesses in the competitive retail landscape.
Storage systems for retail and consumer goods are typically tailored around the specific product range with a high number of SKUs. Shelving must be capable of potentially storing a wide range in a variety of shapes and sizes that can be high in seasonality. Some base-line products do not necessarily need to be accessed promptly, so deep lane storage is an option.
stow’s systems help you to optimise warehouse design and storage solutions with vertical storage systems, zoning for different product categories, and optimised layout for significantly improved space utilisation. Our automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and conveyor belts can streamline picking, packing, and shipping processes, boosting efficiency and accuracy.
The stow Atlas® pallet shuttle system is a deep lane storage and retrieval system. The heart of the system is a carrier used to move pallets within a specifically designed racking structure. This results in an optimised storage capacity.
stowshelf® is a modular and versatile shelving solution developed for hand-loaded light to medium-duty storage, up to 250 kg/shelf and 8000 kg/bay. stowshelf® can be applied in many environments. As a traditional shelving system, high-rise shelving, or a multi-tier installation, for manually picking goods or as part of an automated central store.
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.
