Optimal storage utilization, sustainable solutions.

Case study: Optimizing storage capacity with Airframe

As a leading provider of innovative packaging solutions for the logistics industry, wi-sales GmbH is constantly faced with the challenge of developing efficient and sustainable solutions for our customers. In this case study, we would like to show you how we were able to optimize the storage capacity of a renowned automotive supplier with the help of our Airframe system, while at the same time reducing costs and improving the environmental footprint.

The initial situation: lack of space and inefficiency

Our customer, a leading automotive supplier, was faced with the challenge of increasing its storage capacity without having to invest in new storage space. The existing storage space was already being optimally utilized and the costs for an expansion would have been considerable. The customer was also looking for a solution that would not only save space, but also be environmentally friendly and cost-efficient.

As experts in innovative packaging solutions, we were entrusted with this complex task. Our aim was to find a solution that not only optimized storage capacity, but also met the high demands for flexibility and sustainability.

The solution: Airframe plastic top frame

After a thorough analysis of the situation, we recommended that the customer implement our Airframe plastic top frame. This innovative solution offers numerous advantages that are perfectly tailored to our customer’s needs:

• Flexibility: The Airframe frames can be easily attached to existing pallets, enabling variable stacking heights.
• Space saving: The ability to stack the load units higher optimizes vertical space utilization.
• Lightweight: The low weight of the plastic frames makes handling easier and reduces transportation costs.
• Robustness: Despite their low weight, the Airframe frames are extremely stable and reliably protect the stored goods.
• Sustainability: The frames are 100% recyclable and thus contribute to improving the environmental balance.

Implementation: step by step to optimized storage

The Airframe system was introduced in several phases:

1. Analysis: First, we carried out a detailed inventory of the existing warehouse structure and the stored goods.
2. Planning: Based on the knowledge gained, we developed a customized concept for the integration of the Airframe frames.
3. Test phase: We initially implemented the system in a selected area of the warehouse on a trial basis to check its practical suitability.
4. Training: We provided comprehensive training for warehouse staff to ensure smooth handling of the new technology.
5. Full implementation: Following a successful test phase, the Airframe system was rolled out across the entire warehouse.

The results: More capacity, lower costs

The implementation of the Airframe system led to impressive results:

“By introducing the Airframe plastic stacking frames, we were able to increase our storage capacity by 30% without needing any additional space. At the same time, we have reduced our storage costs by 25% and significantly improved our carbon footprint.” – Logistics manager of the automotive supplier

This statement underlines the success of our solution. But the advantages go even further:

• Flexibility: The easy adaptability of the stacking height enables optimum use of space for different product sizes.
• Increased efficiency: Improved space utilization and easier handling have significantly increased the efficiency of storage processes.
• Conserving resources: The lightweight construction of the Airframe frames reduces fuel consumption during transportation and thus conserves resources.
• Improved occupational safety: The low weight of the frames makes handling easier and reduces the risk of injury to employees.

Lessons learned: Success factors for warehouse optimization

The successful implementation of the Airframe system has provided us with important insights for future projects:

1. Holistic approach: An optimal solution not only takes space utilization into account, but also aspects such as sustainability, occupational health and safety and cost efficiency.
2. Customization: Every warehouse is unique. A customized solution that is tailored to the customer’s specific needs is the key to success.
3. Employee involvement: The early involvement and training of employees is crucial for the successful implementation of new systems.
4. Continuous optimization: Even after implementation, regular analyses and adjustments should be carried out in order to exploit the full potential of the solution.
