Static racking layouts often waste cubic space. Instead, deploy mobile racking or high-density systems like push-back or drive-in racks where turnover rates justify them. SKU profiling matters. Low-turn items shouldn't occupy prime zones while fast-movers need easy access. Dynamic slotting, powered by WMS analytics, optimizes space by adjusting locations based on demand shifts. Pallet configurations affect storage density. Mixed-SKU pallets may work for low-volume items but complicate picking. Standardised pallet footprints improve stacking efficiency. For Seasonal demand swings deploy temporary mezzanines or collapsible racks add flexibility without long-term footprint expansion.

* Optimize Shelving Configurations * FIFO (First-In, First-Out) * Consolidate Inventory * Leverage Technology * Consider Narrow Aisles and Automated Systems * Use Temporary Storage Solutions By adopting a combination of these approaches, can maximize your warehouse space, improve operational efficiency, and better handle inventory shortages.

1.Assess Current Inventory: Conduct a thorough inventory assessment to understand what items are in stock, their sizes, and turnover rates. This will help identify which items take up the most space and which ones are not moving. 2.Embrace Just-In-Time Inventory:If feasible, adopt a JIT approach to reduce on-hand inventory, thus freeing up space and requiring only what is necessary for production or sales. 3.Consolidate SKUs:Combine or eliminate underperforming SKUs. Evaluate the product range and consider removing products that are not selling well or can be merged to free up space.

*Monitoring the inventory regularly *Maintaining the good inventory turn over rate *Standardizing the packages to optimum the carton spaces *Implementing 5s to align the spaces while reducing the wastage *Using FIFO properly *Taking right policy for SLOB items

If we consider a parcel pickup point as a compact warehouse, we face the same challenges of space utilization and inventory management. Instead of traditional shelving or storage bins, we at Apis solve this issue through a robotic platform with AI-driven dynamic storage allocation. Unlike conventional locker systems with fixed compartments, our intelligent robotic parcel stations adjust in real-time, optimizing storage density and retrieval efficiency. This approach allows us to achieve up to 10x better space utilization compared to traditional solutions. By integrating AI and automation, we not only maximize storage capacity but also enhance operational speed and reduce delivery costs.
