Warehouse & Operations

The basis for a successful industrial or manufacturing company is not just a well-thought-out business idea, strong business partners and reliable specialist staff, but also high-quality, ergonomic and durable workplace equipment. When a company is founded or expanded, or when business and work rooms are to be redesigned, the purchase of suitable operating and other industrial equipment must be carefully planned. After all, the work and furnishings should be functional for your company for as long as possible.

With the right planning, high-quality warehouse equipment offers multiple advantages:

• It enables smooth work processes and increases productivity
• It leads to high-quality results
• It guarantees the health & safety of employees in the workplace over the long term
• It fulfils legal regulations and protective requirements
• It provides cost savings over the long term

Considerations Before Buying Factory Equipment

It is advisable to rely on high-quality factory equipment manufacturers when setting up your company. Even if the acquisition costs are initially higher than with inexpensive warehouse equipment: the shorter downtimes, low failure rates and precise results make the acquisition of high-quality work equipment a more profitable option in the long term. In addition, many of the top manufacturers also offer spare parts and accessories or repair services.

In the case of start-ups in particular, the purchase of all required factory equipment can initially be expensive. Thorough planning is therefore sensible and necessary from a financial perspective. However, even if only individual components of your existing warehousing equipment need to be supplemented or replaced, some considerations should not be foregone before buying. For this purpose, it is important to plan your requirements, taking into account both the requirements of the operating equipment itself and the operational conditions. The answers to the following questions will give you an overview of your actual needs:

• What are the operational conditions regarding the available space and the indoor climate? Does it have to be planned in advance in order to optimally design storage areas?
• Which functions must the equipment within your operating facility perform? Which functions are unnecessary?
• How high must the quality of the operating equipment be? Are there areas in which premium factory equipment is essential, for example?
• How are the operational processes structured? Do the planned purchases fit in?
• Does the company require special facilities that are mandatory for occupational health and safety?
• Does the operating equipment have to correspond to a certain look (for example in the corporate design)?
• If there is a fixed budget, do the acquisition costs remain within the budget? Which items of equipment can also be purchased at a later date?

Using these guidelines, you can then select the operating equipment for your warehouse or factory based on the list of requirements.
