In modern logistics centers, automated high-bay warehouses are indispensable for ensuring high efficiency and rapid goods movement.  

However, many companies face a problem: The number of pallets that can be moved per hour is limited—often even lower than expected.  

This leads to pallets having to be handled twice if the flow of goods in the automated high-bay warehouse is not optimally organized.

Why the flow of goods is crucial for a well-functioning automated high-bay warehouse

A smooth flow of goods is essential to avoid delays and unnecessary re-storage. Especially in automated high-bay warehouses, it must be ensured that the right pallets are available at the right time. Otherwise, you risk:

• Delays in inbound and outbound logistics

• Increased costs due to manual rework

• Inefficient use of storage capacity

Quality counts: Why only A-grade pallets work for automated high-bay warehouses

Another important criterion in automated high-bay warehouses is pallet quality. Only high-quality A-grade pallets are suitable for seamless warehouse automation.  

Suppliers need to be aware of this, because:

• Damaged or inferior pallets can block the storage system.

• Inconsistent pallet dimensions lead to disruptions in automated conveyor systems.

• Manual intervention is required if a pallet cannot be detected or stored correctly.
