The space utilization rate determines the storage cost. Making full use of the existing warehouse space and maximizing the storage space can effectively increase the profit of the enterprise.
The improvement of the utilization rate can reduce the operating cost of the warehouse and indirectly create economic benefits for the enterprise. Now we look at how to maximize storage space:
1. Analysis of the elements of position planning
In order to greatly improve the utilization rate of warehouse space, scientific and reasonable warehouse planning is an indispensable important link, and it is also an important means to maximize the use of space. Warehouse planning mainly includes planning of area layout, material level setting, material stacking method and material labeling.
2. Use of three-dimensional space
The three-dimensional warehouse can make full use of the vertical space of the warehouse to the maximum, so that the storage capacity per unit area is much larger than that of the ordinary single-story warehouse, which is generally 5 to 8 times that of the single-story warehouse. At present, the world's tallest three-dimensional warehouse can be more than 50 meters high, with a capacity of more than tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 cargo spaces.
3. Use of standard packaging
Every storage location has a fixed size, and it is best to use standard packaging containers. The standard packaging is very convenient for the labeling, maintenance, inspection and transportation of the goods. The stored materials are marked on the top of each container. Combined with bar code technology, the management of storage materials and inventory can be automated, which brings great convenience to work.
