Many clients express concerns about efficiently using their available space to avoid the costly option of moving into a larger building. Sutphen emphasizes that every warehouse can benefit from advanced storage systems, which allow physical items to be stored similarly to how data is archived on a computer. For instance, when dealing with numerous identical palletized items, LD Systems can implement solutions that enable deep pallet storage, utilizing sophisticated systems that employ robots to manage the storage and retrieval of these pallets as needed.
Sutphen addresses common hesitations customers have regarding automation and technology, particularly concerning costs. While some projects can be expensive, the potential return on investment is significant. He illustrates that if high-density storage can provide an additional 50% of usable space, the savings compared to building a new facility—costing anywhere from $250 to $400 per square foot—can be substantial, often amounting to millions of dollars. By investing in high-density storage and automation, businesses can achieve maximum space utilization, improved efficiency, faster order fulfillment, reduced labor costs, and better protection for their products. Sutphen encourages businesses to consider the benefits of partnering with LD Systems to optimize their warehouse space effectively.
