Warehouse Reconfiguration

Optimising warehouse space through innovative reconfiguration solutions

Across the UK, the need for warehouse space is at an all-time premium. With Brexit now finalised and the challenges brought about through a global pandemic, businesses have been forced to review their warehouse storage requirements and existing capacity levels.

At SEC we analyse, design and install innovative solutions that will optimise the cube in the most efficient and effective way to offer increased storage capacity, selectivity and throughput levels for existing stock, taking into account planned growth strategies and product diversification.

Increased space utilisation

Enhancing and expanding the existing space utilisation of a warehouse through reconfiguration should be carried out through detailed analysis to identify the current operational levels and how these will be impacted through our intelligent and innovative design solution. The in-depth data analysis process we undertake as part of our warehouse planning service is vital to create a robust and future-proofed design, which is then brought to life through the careful selection of high quality products sourced through our expansive and trusted supply chain. We offer a full turnkey service taking ownership of analysis, warehouse planning, warehouse design and installation, all through a dedicated project management team.

Making operational processes more efficient

With any warehouse redesign and reconfiguration project we aim to deliver a solution that offers improved efficiency levels within the existing space. Using warehouse intelligence to create such a solution then involves careful product selection across storage equipment such as racking and shelving, as well as potential automated elements including shuttle systems and conveyors, as well as using advanced warehouse management systems. Combined, these elements ensure the smooth flow of goods from on-site delivery, through the storage phase, and finally to the finished product being ready to head out to the customer via the distribution channels.

Extending the service period of building

Often overlooked as an important factor in operational overheads, through intelligent design SEC is able to identify potential opportunities to increase space dramatically through our warehouse reconfiguration planning, which allows businesses to remain in their existing facility for a significant period of time. This can be as much as 40% increased space capacity equating to an additional 10 years in the current building.
