We considered solutions such as vertical carousels or paternosters, but the benefits they offered were far less than those of a Storeganizer solution
A flexible solution to rigid racking
The challenge
The fundamental aim of Storeganizer was to optimize the picking face, liberating space for high-velocity items and enabling the allocation of more substantial locations.
The solution
With the implementation of Storeganizer 91 m² has been adroitly optimized, yielding an impressive 80% reduction in space requirements while simultaneously freeing up double the area compared to the preceding solution. The ingenious configuration comprises 5,109 Storeganizer pockets accommodating a diverse range of 3,667 SKUs, constituting a quarter of the active picking inventory. Ingram Micro envisions an additional 250 m² of liberated space as subsequent phases of the optimization endeavor unfold. The pivotal gain here is space, with time efficiency standing as a secondary benefit.
The outcome
The implementation of Storeganizer yields tangible results that underscore its efficacy:
- A notable 40% surge in the quantity of SKUs that can be accessed with every meter traveled, eclipsing traditional longspan shelving standards.
- The reclaimed space is strategically channeled into larger picking faces, resulting in time savings during replenishment processes and bolstering stock management efficiency to address shop floor stock-outs and similar scenarios.
- Ingram Micro foresees the return on investment (ROI) materializing within a two-year timeframe. The projected impact is substantial – the potential elimination of 90% of replenishment tasks, translating to significant labor savings equivalent to 14 hours' worth of resources on a daily basis.
