Special Storage Requirements

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Construction materials often require proper storage conditions to prevent damage and deterioration. Maintaining temperature and humidity control, as well as protecting materials from exposure to the elements, can be challenging, potentially affecting product quality.

Acme Solution

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems are well-equipped for safe storage of different materials and controlled temperature / humidity conditions.

Order Fulfillment Accuracy & Efficiency

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Manual order picking and fulfillment processes can be inefficient and error-prone. Meeting customer demands promptly, especially during peak construction seasons, can be challenging, leading to potential delays, customer dissatisfaction, and missed business opportunities.

Acme Solution

Implementing WMS software enhances inventory management, tracks orders, and optimises picking routes, offering real-time visibility into inventory levels.

Conveyor systems can automate the movement of materials and products throughout the warehouse and between different stages of order fulfillment, reducing manual handling time.

Robots can be employed for order-picking tasks with high precision and speed.

Space Management

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Construction materials can be large, heavy, and irregularly shaped, making efficient space utilisation a significant challenge. Maximizing storage capacity while maintaining accessibility and safety is essential but can be difficult without automation.

Acme Solution

AS/RS and smart software solutions allow for better use of existing warehouse space, maximising vertical and horizontal storage space.

Operational Cost

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Manual handling of heavy construction materials, such as lumber, steel, concrete, and bricks, can be physically demanding and increase the risk of employee injuries. The manual movement of materials within the warehouse and during loading/unloading can be time-consuming and costly.

Acme Solution

Conveyors, AS/RS systems, and other automated solutions move chemicals quickly and efficiently, with significantly reduced risk of accidents or errors. Automation solutions can integrate all aspects of the materials handling process, from picking and packing to shipping, reducing labour- and cost-intense processes.

Limited Scalability

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Scalability is a constraint in manual warehouses, making it hard to handle growing order volumes and diversified product offerings.

Acme Solution

Automation solutions are scalable and can be implemented gradually. Conveyor Systems, AS/RS and WMS streamline operations, enhance space utilisation, and accommodate rising order volumes and product diversity. Automated picking robots and packing machines can significantly increase order processing speed.
