While proper equipment and effective employee training are crucial for every warehouse or industrial facility, the effectiveness of both elements can be reduced by poor warehouse design. While it may be tempting to cut costs and design the layout of your warehouse by yourself, this can drastically reduce productivity and employee safety while limiting room for future growth. To ensure that your operation is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible, it is often worth hiring a professional to design your warehouse. Whether you are constructing a new facility, remodelling your current facility, or expanding your operation, a professional warehouse designer will help you optimize every aspect of your space. To demonstrate why these services are worth the cost, the team at Commander Warehouse Equipment has compiled a list of benefits of warehouse design services.

Professional warehouse designers can create a layout that provides the following benefits for your operation:
Whether you own a warehouse that specializes in order fulfillment or an industrial manufacturing facility, you need enough space for your equipment, materials/products, and employees. A professional warehouse designer will utilize the dimensions of your facility to determine the ideal location for racking, storage cabinets, forklifts, and other equipment, ensuring that you have enough space for your employees to safely get the job done. If space is extremely limited for your facility, a professional can recommend high-density storage options and efficient solutions like mezzanines to create more space.
Poor visibility and crowded aisles can drastically increase the risk of collisions between equipment, dropped items, and employee injury. A well-designed warehouse will have better visibility through aisles and around corners, drastically reducing the risk of an accident.
An effective warehouse design will enhance productivity by creating optimal routes for various processes. This can include creating seamless and accessible routes for order picking or the use of high-density storage systems to keep similar products and parts in the same area for faster and more accurate retrieval.
By hiring a professional to create a streamlined warehouse design, you can drastically reduce the risk of lost or stolen stock and decrease picking time between orders. This reduces your daily operating costs while increasing profitability, allowing you to recover the cost of the design over time.
