5 Aspects Should Be Aware When Designing The Correct Racking System

1. Item characteristics (size, weight, storage unit)

The size, and weight of the stored items are directly related to the choice of the shelf.

2. Accessibility (storage density, first in first out, storage management)

General accessibility and storage density are relative. That is to say, in order to obtain a higher storage density, it is necessary to sacrifice the accessibility of the article. The three-dimensional automatic warehouse can be developed upwards, with excellent accessibility and storage density, but the relative investment cost is relatively expensive.

3. Inbound and outbound volume (first in, first out, access frequency, number of accesses)

Although some shelves have good storage density, the amount of inbound and outbound storage is not high, which is suitable for low frequency operations. The high volume of inbound and outbound storage is very important data, which is a consideration for the choice of storage equipment type.

4. Handling equipment

The access operation of the storage device is done by the handling device. Therefore, the selection of storage equipment requires consideration of handling equipment.

5. Plant structure (available height, beam position, floor conditions, fire protection facilities)

The choice of storage equipment must take into account the effective height under the beam to determine the shelf height. The position of the beam and column will affect the configuration of the shelf. The strength of the floor and the flatness of the floor are also related to the design and installation of the shelves. Also consider the installation location of fire protection facilities and lighting facilities.
