Are You Still Worried About Insufficient Storage Space?

views

In today’s fast-paced, logistics-driven world, the pressure to optimize warehouse space has never been greater. Whether you’re operating a large distribution center, a cold storage facility, or a manufacturing plant, space constraints can severely limit productivity, increase operational costs, and hinder future growth. But here’s the good news: these limitations are no longer unsolvable. Companies like Inform are revolutionizing storage efficiency with cutting-edge automated warehouse solutions and high-density racking systems.

Why Insufficient Storage Space Is a Growing Concern

Increased e-commerce demand, urban warehousing challenges, and SKU proliferation have pushed warehouses to their limits. Companies are struggling to expand their facilities due to high real estate costs, while also dealing with inventory that moves faster and in greater volume than ever before.

The Hidden Costs of Wasted Warehouse Space

When you operate with limited storage capacity, the effects are not just spatial—they’re deeply financial. Here’s how:

  • Low storage density leads to increased travel time for workers or machines, reducing picking efficiency.

  • Overcrowded storage increases the risk of inventory damage and errors.

  • Companies may be forced to outsource excess inventory to third-party storage providers, increasing operational costs.

  • Poor layout planning often results in underutilized vertical space, creating wasted cubic volume.

In such scenarios, optimizing your existing footprint becomes not only a priority—but a necessity.

How Inform Turns Space Constraints into Competitive Advantages

At Inform, we specialize in converting your vertical and horizontal space into a streamlined, intelligent storage environment. From automated shuttle systems to high-density racking, our customized solutions are engineered to scale with your business.

Comprehensive Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all product, Inform evaluates your operational workflow, load characteristics, and facility layout to design the most space-efficient system possible. Our key offerings include:

Solution Type Features Space Efficiency
Shuttle Racking System High-speed automated shuttle cars, deep lane storage ★★★★★
Four-Way Shuttle System Flexible multi-directional shuttle movement ★★★★☆
ASRS Systems (Miniload, Pallet) Fully automated vertical storage & retrieval ★★★★★
Teardrop Racking System Easy reconfiguration and compatibility ★★★★☆
Mobile Racking Movable racks that optimize aisle space ★★★★☆

Every solution is designed with space utilization, automation, and ROI in mind, ensuring that your investment pays for itself over time.

The Power of Shuttle Systems: A Game Changer for Dense Storage

One of the most innovative answers to space constraints is Inform’s Shuttle Racking System. By automating pallet handling and eliminating the need for wide forklift aisles, shuttle systems can increase storage density by up to 60% compared to traditional selective racking.

How It Works

Shuttle cars travel independently on rails inside storage lanes to transport pallets in and out of deep rack structures. With vertical lift systems and multiple levels, you’re not only stacking higher, but you’re doing it faster and more accurately.

Benefits include:

  • Maximized floor and vertical space

  • Reduced labor costs with fewer manual operations

  • Improved safety through automation

  • Seamless integration with WMS (Warehouse Management Systems)

This is the perfect solution for industries such as cold storage, food & beverage, e-commerce, and pharmaceuticals, where space and time are at a premium.

Intelligent Automation: The Backbone of Modern Warehousing

At Inform, we don’t just build racks—we build intelligent systems that communicate, analyze, and optimize. Our WMS (Warehouse Management System) and WCS (Warehouse Control System) are designed to interface with every piece of hardware on the warehouse floor.

Data-Driven Storage Optimization

Inform’s software modules manage:

  • Real-time inventory tracking

  • Smart task scheduling for inbound and outbound goods

  • Automated replenishment

  • Load balancing across multiple zones

This ensures not only space efficiency but also workflow synchronization, enabling you to meet fluctuating demand with precision. Automation reduces human error and increases accuracy, consistency, and traceability, all critical in regulated industries.
