Downtime is costly. Industore solutions mitigate risks while boosting efficiency and safety. From manufacturing to healthcare, and everything in between – critical spare parts should only be stored in the most reliable, connected, sophisticated automated storage systems.
Effective management of critical spare parts storage is essential in industries where equipment failures can lead to significant operational disruptions and financial losses. Lean-Lifts and Rotomats, the world’s leading Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), ensure that essential components are always accessible when needed. These automated systems streamline the storage and retrieval of critical spare parts, reducing procurement lead times and maintaining a well-stocked parts department. By ensuring optimal stock levels and the availability of critical spares, Lean-Lifts and Rotomats help prevent operational disruptions and enhance operational resilience.
Hänel Lean-Lift: Our premiere vertical lift modules offer unparalleled control for critical spare parts. Rapid access, detailed transaction logging, and prevention of unauthorised access ensure parts are always available, traceable, and secure.
Hänel Rotomat: Our leading, automated storage carousels swiftly deliver items to an ergonomic height, eliminating wasted motion and maximising storage capacity. Precise inventory tracking and swift, controlled access safeguard critical components, and reduces downtime.
Jobe Bruzas, Marketing Manager:
“When it comes to critical spare parts, time is of the essence. That’s why Industore’s expertise extends beyond providing automated storage systems. Coined “interior logic,” Industore ensures the entire layout of customers’ facilities is optimised for efficiency and productivity. This strategic arrangement includes the placement of Lean-Lifts and Rotomats in conjunction with other elements such as bulk storage areas, quality assurance, dispatch, back offices, and conveniences, to create a seamless and efficient workflow throughout the entire operation.”
Commitment to Excellence in Warehouse Transformation:
Inventory Control and Warehouse Management Systems for Critical Spare Parts Storage
Effective inventory management facilitated by Industore’s automated solutions helps maintain optimal stock levels, avoiding both overstocking and stockouts. Leveraging data-driven insights and advanced inventory management techniques, businesses can keep inventory costs under-control, while ensuring critical parts or critical tooling is always available. This balance significantly cuts down on unnecessary expenses related to excess inventory and expensive, emergency procurements. Industore’s proprietary inventory management system, HanelSoft, seamlessly integrates with customers’ existing WMS (warehouse management systems). This integration empowers organisations to improve decision-making, providing a clear, holistic view of their inventory at all times—including who took what, when, and why.
AS/RS and Critical Spare Parts: Additional Benefits
Industore solutions provide unparalleled inventory control, delivering real-time visibility into inventory levels and locations. This minimises the risk of stockouts, overstocking, and the storage of obsolete items. By knowing exactly where items are stored, in what quantities, and their typical pick patterns, order accuracy is greatly enhanced, and search times reduced. Industore’s systems offer 100% traceability and secure access via fob or password, camera integration, and “pick-to-light” technology, making picking errors, returns, and customer dissatisfaction a thing of the past. This high level of security and precision also eliminates the risks, and even the temptation, of pilferage.
The integration of Lean-Lifts and Rotomats with advanced inventory management software, such as our proprietary system, HanelSoft or its integration with a customer’s existing WMS, can facilitate data-driven decision-making. These systems provide comprehensive insights into stock levels, usage trends, and reorder periods, allowing maintenance teams to make informed inventory management decisions. Automated replenishment alerts further enhance efficiency by generating purchase requisitions when stock levels fall below predefined thresholds, ensuring that critical parts are always available and inventory costs are kept in check.
The failure of crucial components can pose significant safety risks to businesses. Industore’s systems mitigate these risks by ensuring that safety-critical parts are always within reach, supporting compliance with safety regulations, and reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries. Ergonomically designed, Industore lifts dispense goods at consistent, safe heights, avoiding the need to climb ladders, use forklifts, or stretch and reach.
AS/RS systems by Industore automate the storage and retrieval of items, reducing the need for an ever-increasing workforce to complete repetitive, time-consuming tasks. This automation leads to increased efficiency, faster order fulfilment, and higher productivity. Workers are thereby freed to focus on more value-added tasks, such as performing critical repairs or conducting preventative maintenance activities.
Industore solutions represent the pinnacle of automated storage and retrieval systems. We mitigate risks, provide cost reductions, and operational improvement - combined that with interior logic. Together, these solutions ensure operations remain smooth, efficient, and resilient.
