warehouse occupancy
Optimal Column Spacing
Warehouse column spacing should maximize storage density and should not obstruct the movement of operators or equipment.
Smart Walls
Wall space should be wisely utilized. In this case push back rack is placed up against the exterior walls since push back racks do not require back side access. American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Unobstructed Aisles
One of the dangers of over occupying a warehouse is the inclination to clutter aisles with staged material. The clutter hampers productivity and safety.
Long Axis Occupancy
When occupancy is the main driver of warehouse success, long aisles along the long axis of the building help to maximize storage capacity.
Building Size Optimization
Warehouses should be sized such that their occupancy ranges between 70% and 90%.
Lane Depth Optimization
Lane depth optimization assigns each product in floor storage, push back rack, pallet flow rack, or deep lane ASRS to its optimal lane depth.
