Contributing to Space Saving in Warehouses [Case Study] Hayabusa Co., Ltd.

We will introduce a case where the issue of storage location was resolved, resulting in a threefold increase in warehouse picking speed!

Hayabusa Corporation was facing a bottleneck in shipping due to holding a large inventory and needed a custom-made picking platform to meet specific needs. After considering an upgrade to their automated warehouse and collaborating with Okamura Corporation, they decided to implement the "AutoStore System." By adjusting the height of the picking platform to accommodate four bins in one area and fourteen bins in another, they expanded the area of the AutoStore grid. They were able to house all products on one floor, and the picking speed increased to three times that of the previous system. [Challenges] - Each order required 3 to 4 people to work, and the system of sourcing products from multiple warehouses was cumbersome. - The automated warehouse had stairs between the first and second floors, occupying a large space. - They were operating from a flat storage warehouse, but costs were rising, and picking speed significantly decreased. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
