STAMH Group: Intelligent warehouse systems help companies make the most of limited space

It becomes increasingly more difficult to find free space for the construction of warehouse bases, and expenditure for industrial sites continues to rise. At the same time companies need to maintain more stock, to be able to process more orders and to react faster to changes in demand. This situation changes the way in which warehouses are planned. Instead of expanding the area, more and more companies are looking for solutions for better usage of the currently available space. High racking structures, automated storage systems, robotic technologies, and software management enable a warehouse to operate at higher capacity without increasing its footprint.

High racking systems and automated warehouse solutions allow for significant increase in the number of warehouse positions, without needing to expand the location. This is especially important for establishments that work in regions with limited terrain or high real estate costs.

"Among the solutions addressing this trend are the AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems) for pallets from STAMH Group. These systems combine high-bay racking structures, automated pallet storage and retrieval equipment, and intelligent process management. With this type of system, goods are stored at significant heights and in compactly organized zones, enabling higher storage density compared to traditional warehouses serviced primarily by forklifts," stated STAMH—an established international warehouse automation company offering a wide range of automated systems to optimize operations in warehouses and distribution centers— to BalkanEngineer.com.

In typical warehouses, a large part of the space is used for movement of operators and transportation equipment. New automated solutions allow these areas to be reduced and utilized more efficiently. Shuttle systems are one such example, where robotic shuttles handle the movement of loads within the racking structure.
