High-performance warehouse processes and a smooth production supply are the basis for flexible and seamless intralogistics. Warehouse requirements Space savings Efficient storage and retrieval of tools and small parts Buffering of semi-finished products READ MORE Many Kardex customers transition from using conventional tool storage in cabinets or shelves. Pallet bays occupy valuable production space and leave warehouse staff struggling with limited space, narrow and long walking distances, and only a poor (often decentralized) stock overview. Kardex automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) solve these issues and ensure efficient storage and production supply. At the same time, Kardex's warehouse management software (WMS) supports smooth inventory management, so you always know what's in stock. Using reorder points, you can even automatically reorder items that fall below a minimum stock level ensuring production is always well supplied. Customer benefits High-density storage Combined and yet highly compressed storage for tools and components in different sizes and weights reduces footprint up to 85%. Controlled storage environment Clean room conditions, temperature-controlled, and humidity-controlled storage for sensitive components. Compact buffering Store material temporarily for any amount of time between various production steps. Storage solutions for mechanical engineering Buffer storage eliminates downtime Buffering absorbs small fluctuations in the production process, prevents downtime, and ensures intermediate stored products return just-in-time to the production or shipping area.
