What Is Warehouse Design and Layout?
Warehouse design involves planning the placement of storage systems, workflows, and equipment. Good design combines rack systems, handling equipment, and work processes. This creates a space where everything works well together.
A well-designed layout helps you store more, work faster, and spend less on operations.
Professional design services help spot opportunities you might miss on your own. Whether you’re building a new warehouse or fixing an old one, our team can help.
Our Warehouse Design Process
When you work with us for your warehouse racking services, we follow these critical steps:
-
Initial Consultation and Requirements Assessment
We begin by discussing your needs with you, then we review your inventory, equipment, and operational processes. We check your current and future inventory levels and examine product sizes, weights, and shipping speed. This helps us choose the right storage solutions.
-
Site Analysis and Space Planning
Our team measures the dimensions of your building, including its columns and ceiling height. We check floor strength and other structural features. This helps identify limitations and maximize space through smart planning.
-
3D CAD Design Development
We use CAD software to create 3D models of your warehouse layout. These models show you the design before we build. You’ll see where we’ll place racks, shelving, workstations, and traffic lanes.
