Warehouse Tips for All Industries: The Most Cost-Effective Way to Use Racks

The warehouse requirements vary greatly across different industries, and choosing the right shelves is like choosing the right tools, which can double storage efficiency. Let's take a look at how various industries play with shelves: 

Clothing e-commerce warehouse: 

Adjustable lightweight shelves are most suitable. Place different styles of clothes on each floor, hang a sign with "XL size black T-shirt" on it, and the picker can easily find it at a glance. The best-selling items are placed at waist height, making it easy to retrieve. Remember to leave enough aisles for the packers to push the cart back and forth. 

Auto parts warehouse: 

Small screws and large accessories should be separated in pipes. Use drawer style shelves for small parts, with labels attached to each small compartment; Heavy duty shelves are used for large items, with heavy items placed at the bottom and light items placed at the top. Commonly used parts should be placed near the shipping area, and infrequently used parts should be placed back. 

Fresh cold chain warehouse: 

The shelves must be made of stainless steel, which is rust proof and hygienic. Each floor should have drainage holes to prevent water accumulation and freezing. Place products with a short shelf life in a prominent location, and release those that arrive first to avoid waste. Remember to leave enough space for the cold air to circulate. 

Furniture and building materials warehouse: 

Cantilever shelves are a great helper for long boards, arranging them neatly like chopsticks. Place heavy tiles on the lower layer and light decorative materials on the upper layer. Divide each category into dedicated areas, manage the board area, hardware area, and lighting area separately, and avoid getting lost when searching for goods. 

Medical warehouse: 

The shelves should be clean and tidy, preferably with a white paint finish. According to the category of drugs, store room temperature drugs, cool drugs, and refrigerated drugs separately. Each layer of shelves should have clear labeling, with batch numbers and expiration dates clearly visible. Set aside a dedicated quality inspection area to ensure drug safety. 

Electronic product warehouse: 

Anti static shelves are necessary to protect precision components. Small products are classified and packed in storage boxes, while large products are stored on medium-sized shelves. Arrange a locked exclusive area for valuable items, and register entry and exit. 

Remember three general principles: 

1. Place items that sell quickly at the door
2. Place heavy ones on the lower layer and light ones on the upper layer
3. Put similar items together
Choosing shelves is like choosing clothes, fit is the most important. Only by configuring according to the characteristics of one's own industry can the warehouse operate more smoothly. Take some time to plan carefully, what you save will be real gold and silver!
