A well-organized warehouse layout streamlines material and product handling, reducing operating expenses. Lida Group works closely with clients to design efficient steel structures tailored for specific manufacturing and distribution workflows.

Assessing Operational Needs

Lida consultants evaluate workflow maps, throughput volumes, equipment types and regulatory requirements to comprehend space, access and capacity needs. Computer modeling simulates material flows.

Zone Planning

Areas are delineated for receiving, storage, shipping and value-added processing. Goods with high turnover locate near docks while slow items can be stored at mezzanines or remote yards. Buffer spaces separate incompatible activities.

Infrastructure Integration

Conveyors, craneways and utilities are strategically embedded into floorplans and structural designs. Specialized mezzanines over dockwalls and door openings optimize valuable ground areas.

Rack and Shelving Alignment

Steel uprights and decking precisely coordinate with structural bay spacing for seamless rack installation. Shelving areas factor beam loads and future expansion needs.

Material Flow Optimization

First-in-first-out storage reduces picking distances and inventory carrying costs. Sequential workflow, well-marked aisles and right-sized equipment minimize non-value added travel.

Ergonomic Design

Proper lighting, signage and equipment placement consider human factors to promote safety, productivity and employee retention within compartments.

Prefabrication Advantages

By providing pre-assembled steel sections, Lida constructions allow logistical systems to be pre-planned, procured and installed without disruption from incomplete structural work.

As a single-source provider, Lida’s “whole facility” approach incorporating steel building and operational optimization design delivers warehouses that not only house operations efficiently but actively enhance productivity through customized logistics integration.
