Storage in logistics means placing the right product in the right place at the right time. JOST takes care of customer goods from receipt to shipment to the end customer.
Mass Storage: Speed and Volume
Mass storage places goods directly on the floor, sometimes with floor markings.
-
Advantages: fast, ideal for large or non-standard products, easy for high-turnover items.
-
Disadvantages: warehouse height is not fully utilized, and locating a specific pallet may require moving several others, which is operationally inefficient.
Rack Storage: Optimizing Height
Rack storage uses metal structures to store goods on the floor and at height.
-
Advantages: better use of vertical space, efficient pallet retrieval, suitable for medium- or low-turnover products.
High and Automated Racks: Maximizing Efficiency
High racks vary in height, width, and depth. Some are semi-automated or fully automated to maximize warehouse profitability, especially for large-volume clients.
Choosing the Right Storage Method
To select the right solution, consider:
-
product type
-
storage duration
-
building height
-
budget
