How flow storage systems _________ reduce the operating costs INTERROLL of pallet storage systems Industry Fact Sheet

The ways flow storage systems boost companies’ competitiveness Higher performance, lower costs Intelligent ow storage systems for pallets (also known as Dynamic Storage) offer a multitude of advantages – in comparison to radio shuttle systems or conventional technologies – in the area of internal warehouse logistics with high turnover levels. A diverse product range can be handled faster and with lower personnel costs with dynamic storage systems. In addition, the use of gravity avoids power costs for electric motors that move pallets in the racking with radio shuttle systems. These are just...

Optimizing costs means strategic purchasing High performance and quality at low running costs are essential keys to success in internal warehouse logistics. This also applies to manual pallet storage systems with medium to high turnover levels. Companies with intelligent purchasing management therefore take the expected operating costs and the level of initial investment into consideration. Matthias Schmitt, Head of the Procter & Gamble distribution center in Crailsheim, Germany “We can process orders much more efficiently, with signicantly reduced transit channels and much faster with our ow...

How modern flow storage systems work Interroll Dynamic Storage solutions (“Pallet/Carton Flow systems”) are characterized by their lane structures. The individual lanes are equipped with non-powered rollers. The movement of the loading units (e.g., pallets) from entry into the lane through to the unloading position is generated by gravity. The loading units “ow” through the lane over slightly declined roller conveyors. Therefore, there is no need to lift and handle the pallets using mobile shuttles powered by electric motors. High operational reliability and service life Conveyor rollers, characterized...

The total costs are paramount Intelligent and efficient storage solutions should be used especially with pallet storage systems that need to deal with high turnover rates and an increasing range of products. It is not just the initial investment that plays a role in the economic assessment. The costs arising in day-to-day operations play a far greater role. Scientic studies carried out by the Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany with the participation of Southeast University in Nanjing, China show that ow storage systems reduce overall operating costs. High turnover gures require solutions...
