How to design a warehouse storage system

The proper design of a warehouse’s storage system ensures optimal space management, while at the same time improving the safety of the operators and the efficiency of the daily work activities. DEA offers storage systems for warehouses and industrial environments complete with a comprehensive design service, which begins with an initial inspection and ends with commissioning. Let's see how it works.

While warehouses are traditionally organized by placing drawer units and cabinets in somewhat haphazard positions, the most advanced warehouses (industries, major users, etc.) have warehouse storage systems that are meticulously designed.

Designing a warehouse storage system from scratch offers all sorts of advantages, as it allows you to:

  • optimize space
  • expedite daily operations
  • improve safety at the workplace
  • simplify organizing and cleaning activities.

Advantages of a warehouse storage system designed from scratch

Without a general plan, a warehouse storage system ends up making little and/or poor use of the available space. A team of designers, on the other hand, is capable of conceiving and designing an installation that will optimize the available space, complete with specifically designed modules for each work area: drawer units, work benches, cabinets, power distribution modules, waste collection modules, special cabinets, and more.

Having the workstations organized in a more logical manner provides for a series of benefits: for example, routine operations are faster, streamlined, and more precise, because everything is in its place, and each place is designed specifically for its purpose; the workers will find themselves operate in a more friendly environment, with high capacity drawer units, anti-tipping systems, security locks, and more.

Finally, having an efficient and highly functional warehouse also simplifies the auxiliary activities, like cleaning and tidying up the work areas.

How we design a warehouse storage system

DEA specializes in the design and construction of custom storage systems for various types of work environments: from workshops and body shops, to industrial environments, assembly lines, and warehouses.

Designing a warehouse storage system is a meticulous process in which all of the phases are closely linked to one another.

This is basically how it works:

  1. Initial meeting. We show the client the possibilities offered by our products and services, we determine their needs, and we evaluate the feasibility of the project.
  2. On-site inspection. We conduct a first-hand assessment of the industrial environment and the scope of the project.
  3. Consulting. An essential time for dissecting all the client’s needs and desires, working together to come up with the best solution.
  4. 3D Design. Photo-realistic rendering allows client to obtain a preview of the end result, so the project can be confirmed or any necessary adjustments can be made.
  5. Turn-key installation and commissioning.
