2. Introduction One of the important steps to properly organise a warehouse for better functionality and operation is to integrate the right warehouse storage solution in the facility. There might be several warehouse storage options available in the market. While there might be several warehouse storage options that can work well for your facility, it is likely that one warehouse shelving option can be most beneficial for your warehouse. However, identifying that one option among the different types of warehouse storage solutions is crucial to increase efficiency and generate better profits. AvailableWarehouse Shelving and Racking Systems for the Storage Solution Here we are going to discuss the features and benefits of the different warehouse storage racks that can come as an advantage for your warehouse facility. For your better understanding, we are going to divide warehouse storage solutions into two categories: Warehouse Shelving & Racking System, and the Automated warehouse storage solution.

3. Warehouse Shelving & Racking System Selective Pallet Rack System Selective pallet rack systems help with direct access to all the stored pallets/boxes or cartons without requiring to move the others. This makes the system a highly valuable selective solution where warehouses find it is necessary to stock a wide range of products. However, numerous aisles are needed to integrate this high selectivity feature. As a result, this system can be considered as a low- density option in comparison to other varieties of warehouse storage rack systems. This storage system is especially ideal for warehouses or distribution facilities that have a high density of product circulation or where palletised items are required to be accessed simultaneously and continuously.

4. Pallet Flow Rack System In a pallet flow rack system, the rack supports the use of inclined rollers or wheels allowing and helping pallets to move/glide from the back of the aisle to the front for easy picking. When the front pallet is picked, the next pallet in the sequence automatically moves into the picking position. Additionally, brakes should be included to control the movement speed. This type of warehouse storage rack system is ideal for high-value date-sensitive items such as food or beverage storage and also works well for freezer and cold storage applications.

5. Carton Flow Rack System In the carton flow rack system, the rack supports the use of inclined rollers/wheels allowing the stored cartons to slide from the back of the aisle to the front picking area of the aisle. However, Individual lane guides or tilt trays located at the delivering end can be integrated for allowing easy access to the top of the tote for easy picking. This rack system helps in excellent utilization for high volumes of picking applications. It is ideal for products with varying sizes or high valued date-sensitive items like food and beverages along with freezer and cold storage purposes.

6. Drive-in and Drive-through Rack System In the drive-in and drive-through storage racking system, the pallets are stocked on the support rails which are joined to the uprights and can be accessed with the help of a forklift truck that is driven into the system. This system helps provide high-density storage by eliminating the use of picking aisles but has a low selectivity feature. This typical warehouse storage rack system is ideal for storing large volumes of homogeneous products, products with higher shelf life, or goods that are fast-moving (FMCG).

7. Push Back Rack System In the pushback rack system, the rack supports the use of mobile carts along the inclined rails. This rack system utilises the warehouse’s space to reduce the needed aisle space. This in turn maximising the inventory storage, making it a high-density storage solution for pallets. This rack system is great for warehouses and distribution facilities that demand easy access to multiple assortments of stock units, simultaneously.

8. Automated Warehouse Storage Solution Pallet Runner Storage Solution The pallet runner is a semi-automated storage with a deep lane that helps deliver the items through a cart that runs on a determined track in the rack system. The carts can be modified according to a wide range of pallet designs. The pallet runner has the capability of delivering the products at a significantly higher rate and helps provide more density than any other typical drive-in racking system. This racking system eliminates the requirement for wider picking aisles, thus allowing the proper utilisation of the warehouse’ volume. This system is ideal for operations with a higher number of pallets which make up a low number of stock units.

9. Automated Warehouse Storage Solution Pick to Light and Put to Light System The pick-to-light and put-to-light systems consist of highlighted displays integrated into the picking face of each stock unit. The pickers can scan the barcodes which enables them to be directed to the inventory’s storage location. The message display along with the indicator light conveys the picker of the quantity of the items that should be stored or retrieved. These systems are especially ideal for high-density and fast-moving product picking applications. Distribution facilities that have team-based operations to fulfill orders can get benefitted from this system.

10. Advantages of Pick to Light and Put to Light System Some of the other advantages of this system are: • • • • • 99.9% accuracy Quick & short order completion cycle Reduced labour cost Reduction in storing & retrieving errors Low hardware & installation investment

11. Automated Warehouse Storage Solution Voice Picking System The voice picking system helps with hands-free, single-touch picking and packing operation. This system helps prevent errors since it would be more efficient in helping to pick than through via paper. This is because the operator won’t need to check for references about their next step. This can provide a higher picking accuracy and save time by preventing any confusion.

12. Advantages of Voice Picking System The advantages of the voice picking system include: 1. 2. 3. 4. Higher picking accuracy of up to 99.99% Higher picking volumes by operators Reduction in packing operators Improved order fulfilment efficiency

13. Automated Warehouse Storage Solution Conveyor System The conveyors help the products to move quickly from a pickup point to a drop point within the warehouse. There are several options while choosing the conveyor types. However, finding a suitable conveyor type for the warehouse is extremely important. There are mainly three types of conveyors that are available: Transportation conveyors, Accumulation conveyors, and Sortation conveyors.

14. Conveyor System Transportation Conveyor The transportation conveyors help in moving pallets or cartons/boxes from one point to another point. This conveyor option is suitable where the facility needs controllable speed and efficiency in product handling procedures. This system includes a gravity conveyor, belt conveyor, and live roller conveyors.

15. Conveyor System Accumulation Conveyors The accumulation conveyors help move cartons or load from one point to the other. This system helps to allow the transported loads to accumulate at a certain drop point when the handling equipment is available for the sorting process. This conveyor includes zero pressure conveyors, zero contact conveyors, and minimum contact conveyors.

16. Conveyor System Sortation Conveyors Sortation conveyors help in directing inventories from one conveyor line to another one. These are customised for each operation to correctly identify, track and transport items to execute the order fulfillment process. The sortation conveyors include shoe sorter, right angle transfers, pop-up wheel, narrow belt, arm (or pusher) style, tilt tray (or loop sorter), and cross-belt.
