A Future-Focused Approach to CAD Design/Layout
At the core of our design philosophy is the principle of maximizing your warehouse’s potential. We start by meticulously analyzing the materials you store to create racking configurations and footprints tailored to their specific needs.
This involves assessing your current storage and picking methods to identify areas for improvement. Utilizing a vast array of storage and picking systems engineered for different material storage applications, we streamline your warehouse flow management, eliminate bottlenecks, and foster significant efficiency gains.
Finally, with a focus on future growth, we ensure your layout is scalable and adaptable, enabling your warehouse to evolve seamlessly alongside your business.
Example CAD Layout
Here is an example CAD design we completed for a global supply chain company in Kentucky.
Client’s Goals:
- Design a floor plan and racking installation
- Get professional consultation on improving warehouse efficiency
- Increase storage capacity and flow management
How We Achieved Those Goals:
- Worked within the existing open building footprint to draft an ideal material handling system for the client.
- Included steel racking, mechanical rolling carts, work benches, hand trucks, ladders, and lockers.
- In collaboration with industry-leading manufacturers, we delivered the most effective and efficient system for their warehouse.
Why We Use Autodesk AutoCAD for Material Handling Design:
Precision and Accuracy: AutoCAD’s robust drafting and modeling tools ensure highly precise designs for your racking systems and warehouse layouts.
Industry Familiarity: AutoCAD is the industry standard, and using it guarantees our designs are compatible with most engineering and construction software used by our clients and partners.
Scalability & Customization: The software’s ability to scale and offer industry-specific toolsets allows us to tailor designs to your specific material handling needs and accommodate future growth within your warehouse.
