Warehouse Automation Systems

What it is

Warehouse automation covers the equipment and controls that store, retrieve and move inventory with less manual travel. It ranges from a single vertical lift module in a parts room to a complete system of cube storage, shuttles, conveyors, autonomous mobile robots and pick stations working together in a distribution center.

The goal is practical: more pick lines per hour, fewer errors, better use of cubic space and a safer workplace, sized to your real order profile rather than a vendor catalog.

Where it fits

Automation makes sense when labor is hard to find, order volumes are growing, accuracy problems are costly or the building is running out of space. It fits e-commerce and retail fulfillment, wholesale distribution, manufacturing stockrooms, spare parts operations and cold or controlled storage. Many projects start with one area, such as goods-to-person picking for small parts, then expand as results come in.

Our role

We sell, install and service warehouse automation equipment and coordinate the pieces into one system. Our sales team helps define the scope and budget, our engineering and project teams coordinate manufacturers and integration partners. Our field teams install and commission the equipment alongside your general contractor and trades. One accountable point of contact carries the project from first drawing to handover and beyond.

Because our team also handles related equipment, this scope can be packaged with neighboring systems under one point of contact. We work nationwide from our headquarters in Sioux Falls, SD. We support owners, plant managers, engineers and general contractors from first layout through ongoing service.
