Solutions: High-density Storage
Storage, buffering and picking operations demand high-throughput solutions that process inventory in an efficient and profitable way. Case and pallet picking requirements are driving automated solutions to increase productivity, speed, security and accuracy in ambient, chilled and frozen environments.
High-density storage is a solution to maximize the current space within a warehouse or distribution center. This is highly effective as operations grow and the number of SKUs increases, allowing businesses to accommodate larger inventory numbers within the same physical space.
FORTNA enables order fulfilment operations close to your customer. The flexible, scalable AutoStore fulfilment solution maximises capacity and performance so you can:
AutoStore offers a high-density storage solution to increase the speed, accuracy and responsiveness to dynamically changing e-Commerce demand. At FORTNA, we begin with your business requirements and apply our proprietary Distribution Optimisation Framework to design a data-driven solution with AutoStore and our intelligent software. The result is fast and accurate order fulfilment and a realised competitive advantage. AutoStore fulfilment solutions are ideal for operations with:
Labor challenges, such as absenteeism, high turnover and competition for workers make it harder for distribution operations to meet growing performance expectations. The Fortna Technology Assessment can help increase efficiency and drive growth and profitability.
AutoStore is the ultimate order fulfilment solution. It combines the highest storage density of any goods-to-person solution, with a high throughput technology, making it a perfect fit for order fulfilment from large warehouses to small urban stores and backrooms.
The energy-efficient robots utilise regenerative technology and can run on solar power alone. Ten robots use less energy than a vacuum.
The B1 supports true 24/7 operations with technology that allows a robot to switch out its battery rather than spend time on a charging station.
The compact design and fully enclosed grid allow products to be securely stored, authorising access only at the time an order is processed.
Expand the system as your business grows by adding more robots, more workstations or adding storage locations, without disrupting ongoing operations.
With high-density storage, AutoStore can increase storage capacity 4X within the same footprint and take advantage of even the smallest space available.
AutoStore solutions are modular so individual components can be switched out for repair without impacting uptime of the rest of the system.
Reduce labour requirements and related costs with automated solutions for case and pallet picking operations in ambient, chilled and frozen environments.
Leverage intelligent software to provide data and analytics for real-time decision making.
Take advantage of vertical building cube to maximise real estate footprint with scalability and flexibility to support future growth.
A high-density warehouse system is designed to maximise storage space by storing a high volume of SKUs in a compact, space-efficient structure. Using robotics or other retrieval methods, totes or cases with ordered items are brought to a goods-to-person station, where a worker then picks the order and sends the tote back to storage.
We take a holistic approach to distribution strategy, considering upstream/downstream impacts on an entire network of operations.
Scientifically proven proprietary modelling tools and algorithms allow us to design for maximum efficiency and outcomes.
Our deep bench of experts selects appropriate and best-fit technologies that optimise your solution. The result is a comprehensive, flexible solution that delivers exemplary business results.
