Learn how utilizing the Orbiter™ System as a Shipping Buffer in the loading dock area will lead to shorter load times and improved sequencing for faster trailer turn-around times.

Those of us in the materials handling industry are familiar with Deep Channel Storage Systems with pallet shuttles  - those 8-wheeled robotic vehicles which mechanically pick up and move pallets deep into the pallet rack channel. These shuttles collect and move pallets up to 50 pallets deep, depositing moving pallets onto pallet rails until the entire pallet channel is full.

Deep Channel Storage System technology is used primarily in logistics environments consisting of two principle characteristics: (1) a relatively low number of SKUs, and (2) a large number of pallets per SKU.  For example, let’s look at the Deep Channel Storage of soft drink pallets where there is ‘regular’ soda, ‘diet’ soda, ‘caffeine-free’ soda, ‘cherry-flavored’ soda, ‘one-calorie’ soda, ‘lemon’- or ‘lime-flavored’ soda.  Within a storage channel with only one SKU - in our example let’s consider ‘regular’ soda - different SKUs (i.e., different products) would not be mixed within one pallet.  Why? Because once the shuttle reaches the desired storage location, either the shuttle or human labor would have to remove all of the pallets in front of the pallet to be shipped. This is considered an inefficient use of technology, and the Schaefer Orbiter™ eliminates it. Read more.....

There are some basic but important principles involved in utilizing warehouse space effectively. The warehouse design is one part of the greater puzzle, but most new businesses are not in a position to build their warehouse from the ground up. This leaves them with making the best use possible of the warehouse that they have managed to lease or buy. Choosing the proper storage design has a lot to do with warehouse efficiency. Pallets are a common space-saving mechanism for warehouses. However, many warehouses also contain boxes of ready-to-ship products or large appliances for which pallets are impractical. Shelving should be tailored to the type of products that are being stored, and the containers that are used to store them. Consider how quickly items move out of your facility when deciding how and where to store them. Items that move quickly are best placed in easily accessible locations near the floor so that handlers can fill orders rapidly. Items that rarely get sold can sit on a high shelf in the back of the warehouse without having much of a financial impact on your business. Effective inventory management helps keep things running smoothly. Warehouses are large spaces and especially once they are equipped with shelving, it can be difficult to keep track of all the nooks and crannies. Having a good management system that pinpoints where everything is and where new products should go can save a lot of time and hassle. Make sure to use all of the space that is available to you. Humans are constrained by our size and relative inability to climb, and our lives mostly take place within six feet of the ground. This means that we tend to overlook higher spaces when making plans. Simply expanding your warehouse shelving up near the ceiling can add considerable amounts of space to the facility. When expanding up in a warehouse, it is important to consider access to the items that are stored at higher levels. If small items are stored on the higher shelves, a person with a ladder can retrieve them. However, if larger items are stored on high shelves, some kind of mechanical assistance such as a forklift will be needed to retrieve them. It is thus important to make sure that the forklift can maneuver between the rows of shelving. Some facilities benefit from an automated storage retrieval system. These machines can fetch an item off a shelf with a robot after the user inputs the location of the desired item on a computer. This removes the need for enough space to allow a forklift to maneuver in the aisle.  The product is then delivered to the worker with minimal effort on their part, saving time and money.
