logistics
In the commerce and logistics industry, the core of our company's shelving solutions is Maximize space utilization, enhance cargo turnover efficiency, and accommodate storage for diverse product categories. , balancing the size differences among various SKUs (such as fast-moving consumer goods, home appliances, and daily necessities), while also meeting the operational demands of high-frequency inbound and outbound logistics and rapid sorting.

Product Description
Core design principle: Centered on efficiency and flexibility.
Commercial and logistics operations involve a wide variety of product categories, rapid cargo turnover, and significant variations in order volumes—ranging from single items to full containers. Therefore, shelf designs must be tailored around the following principles:
1. Maximizing space utilization : By adopting "three-dimensional storage + high-density layout," we can minimize wasted space—for example, by extending vertical space with high-level racking or compressing aisle areas with drive-in racks—thereby boosting the warehouse's volume utilization rate.
2. Flexibly adapts to multiple product categories :The shelf structure must support quick adjustments, such as freely adjustable shelf height (to accommodate everything from small snacks to large appliances), and customizable bin sizes that can be combined as needed—preventing the hassle of frequently replacing shelves due to frequent product category changes.
3. Efficiency first, align with operational processes : The shelf layout should align with the "receiving - storage - picking - shipping" flow, for example, by placing high-turnover items in the "fast-picking zone" near the shipping exit, thereby reducing handling distances and boosting order-picking efficiency.
Key Scenario Solutions: Customized Based on Storage Needs and Operation Patterns
The demand for shelves in commercial and logistics sectors is primarily concentrated on Full-container storage, piece-picking and order fulfillment, large-volume cargo storage Three major scenarios require differentiated design based on job frequency and cargo characteristics:
| Scene Type | Core Requirements | Shelf Solutions |
Full-container bulk storage (Such as fast-moving consumer goods, daily necessities) | High-density storage, rapid inbound and outbound logistics | 1. Adopt Drive-in racking Or Shuttle Cart Rack , Goods enter from one end and exit from the other, increasing channel utilization by more than 50%, making it ideal for storing large volumes of a single product category; 2. When used with forklifts or AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), it can handle 30–50 cartons entering and leaving the warehouse per hour, making it ideal for batch orders processed on a "whole-in, whole-out" basis. 3. Label shelf boards with location codes (e.g., "Zone A - Level 3 - No. 05"), enabling quick localization when used with the WMS system and reducing the time spent searching for items. |
Breakdown Picking (Such as e-commerce small items, retail restocking) | Multiple SKUs, high-frequency picking, and error-proofing | 1. Use Loft-style shelving Or Flow-style shelving , The attic shelving utilizes the upper space for storing low-frequency SKUs, while the lower level serves as a zone for order-picking and case-picking. Flow rack systems leverage gravity lanes to achieve "first-in, first-out," making them ideal for quick picking of small items. 2. Attach an "electronic tag" to each storage location (with lights indicating the quantity to be picked), and use PDA scanning for confirmation, thereby reducing picking errors from 3% to below 0.5%. 3. Set up a "Verification Station" in the picking area, located right next to the shelves for convenient, immediate checks after order picking, thereby reducing the need for secondary handling. |
Large-volume / Heavy-goods storage (Such as home appliances, furniture) | Strong load-bearing capacity, impact-resistant, and easy to load and unload | 1. Adopt Heavy-duty beam-type racking Or Cantilever Racking , beam-style racks can support 1 to 5 tons per layer, making them suitable for heavy items like refrigerators and washing machines; cantilever racks are ideal for long, bar-shaped goods (such as furniture panels), preventing crushing or deformation. 2. Shelf boards are fitted with "non-slip rubber mats," and a 5-10 cm gap is maintained between storage locations to prevent collisions during loading and unloading. 3. Ensure sufficient forklift aisles are reserved next to the shelving units (width ≥ 3 meters), enabling heavy-duty forklift operations and accommodating the loading and unloading needs of "single items with significant weight." |
Operational Optimization: Cost Reduction, Efficiency Enhancement, and Risk Management
The shelving solution needs to be integrated with backend operations to address pain points such as "space waste, slow picking, and inventory buildup." Key optimization directions are as follows:
1. Dynamic Cargo Location Adjustment According to sales data, adjust product locations once per quarter—moving high-turnover SKUs (such as holiday fast-moving consumer goods) to the "golden zone" (floor-to-2-meter height for easy picking), while relocating low-frequency SKUs to higher shelves or the mezzanine level, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.
2. Intelligent System Integration : The shelves are integrated with the WMS (Warehouse Management System) and TMS (Transportation Management System)—for example, when shelf inventory at a specific location falls below the preset alert threshold, the system automatically triggers a restocking notification. During order fulfillment, the system instantly assigns the nearest available storage location based on the order, minimizing handling distances.
3. Safety and Maintenance : Regularly check the tightness of shelf bolts and the load-bearing condition of shelves (monthly). Attach "load capacity labels" to shelf uprights (e.g., "Single-layer weight limit: 2 tons") to prevent overloading and structural damage. Install "anti-collision guardrails" along both sides of aisles to protect shelves from forklift collisions.
