Warehouse efficiency upgrade: Automated storage systems

At a basic level, automated systems reduce the amount of time it takes for staff to locate and pick items manually. The system makes item retrieval fast and accurate, improving overall productivity and order fulfillment speed. In addition, they can maximize vertical space, allowing for greater storage capacity without the need for additional floor space. These systems also greatly reduce the amount of shrink or inventory loss from possibly picking the incorrect item(s) to fulfill orders, and/or from potential employee theft. Automated storage systems can also make warehouse operations safer by minimizing the need for workers to retrieve items from high or potentially hazardous areas.

Warehouse efficiency upgrade: Drum handling equipment 

When it comes to moving and lifting large and heavy drums and barrels safely, drum handling equipment is a must. But it doesn’t only create a safer work environment: Drum handling equipment is the best way to streamline lifting, moving, and manipulating heavy drums, especially if they contain toxic or hazardous materials. The equipment is able to move more quickly than staff using physical labor and can reduce the physical fatigue and strain these items typically cause. WSH staff are certified Morse Drum Specialists!
