An efficient material supply and delivery capability are essential for stable production and on-time delivery. Companies need to ensure that materials are available in the right quantities at the right time to avoid delays and downtime. At the same time, the inventory turnover rate plays a decisive role, as a high turnover rate reduces storage costs and ensures efficient stock utilisation.
Gridstore and the intelligent control system provided by Grid-Control allow all three factors - material supply, delivery capability and inventory turnover rate - to be improved. Automated processes and special bin solutions make inventory data more precise, picking more reliable and prevent bottlenecks.
How Gridstore optimises material supply, delivery capability and stock turnover
Efficient material supply means that all necessary materials are available at all times. The delivery capability ensures that these materials are delivered to production or customers on time. The inventory turnover rate shows how efficiently stock is utilised and replenished.
Gridstore allows these three aspects to be perfectly combined: The modular Grid ensures optimised space utilisation, while robots such as the Ace automatically move bins and deliver them to the workstations, where they are quickly picked.
Advantages at a glance
- Improved delivery accuracy and availability of materials
- More precise stock accuracy for a stable material supply
- Increased efficiency through optimised inventory turnover
- Optimisation of storage space usage
Improved delivery accuracy and availability of materials
Reliable delivery capability begins with precise material supply and intelligent inventory management. Grid-Control precisely controls the material flow by monitoring stocks in real time.
In combination with the Orbit workstation, which enables continuous provision, or the Shift workstation, which ensures fast and safe material loading or
removal thanks to its flexible design, errors are minimised and materials are always provided in the right place at the right time
- Reduced picking errors through automation
- Optimised inventory management to avoid bottlenecks and downtime
- Just-in-time provision to ensure delivery capability
Inventory security for a stable material supply
Unreliable stocks lead to delays in production and inefficient processes. Automated stocktaking with Gridstore ensures seamless control in real time, so that stock shortages are avoided and materials are available exactly when they are needed.
The Gridstore-Bins are equipped with a barcode system so that their position can be tracked at all times. In conjunction with Grid-Vision, which visualises the bin stock in real time, precise stock control is achieved.
- Automatic stock levels of the bins
- Reduction of excess stock through optimised reordering
- Better planning for a stable material supply
Optimisation of storage space usage
The correct placement of goods saves time, increases productivity and reduces unnecessary movements in the warehouse. Gridstore optimises the warehouse structure dynamically so that frequently used items are provided efficiently.
The Gridstore Grid makes efficient use of the available space by maximising the height of the storage area. In combination with the flexibly combinable Gridstore-Bins, the storage structure can be optimally customised.
- Intelligent warehouse organisation based on turnover rate
- Reduction of unused storage space for efficient inventory management
- Faster access to materials for an optimised supply chain
Increased efficiency through optimised inventory turnover
A high stock turnover means faster movement of goods, reduced capital commitment and lower storage costs.
The intelligent Grid-Control system optimises warehouse processes, while the Ace robot ensures fast and reliable goods movement.
- Prioritised storage location allocation for fast access
- Reduction of capital commitment through optimised inventory quantities
- Faster material movements for more productive processes

Conclusion – More efficiency and control in material supply
Efficient material supply, delivery capability and a high inventory turnover rate are decisive factors for efficient and economical logistics. Companies that do not continuously optimise their warehouse processes risk high storage costs, production delays and inefficient inventory management.
Gridstore enables these challenges to be overcome in a targeted manner. By automating material flows, more precise stock control and dynamic storage location management, companies can:
- Increase inventory turnover to move stock faster and free up capital
- Optimise material supply to ensure the right materials are available at all times
- Improve delivery capability by automating picking processes and reducing errors
- Utilise storage capacities efficiently to save space and speed up material flows
Industry 4.0 as the key to modern material supply
Modern warehouse processes are increasingly relying on Industry 4.0 technologies to maximise efficiency, transparency and flexibility. Gridstore integrates intelligent control systems that enable networked and automated material supply.
- Real-time data analysis for optimal bin management with Grid-Vision
- Networked warehouse processes, that react flexibly to fluctuations in demand, controlled by Grid-Control
- Efficient inventory management thanks to barcode-controlled Gridstore-Bins
- Automated control systems that precisely coordinate material flows, supported by Ace robots for fast goods movements
A company with a stable material supply, high stock turnover and intelligent automation is more flexible, more productive and more economical.
Frequently asked questions about material supply & delivery capability
What measures help to optimise the supply of materials?
Optimising the supply of materials is a continuous process that takes various factors into account. Companies can use this checklist to organise their warehouse and logistics processes more efficiently:
- Improve inventory control - Automated systems such as Grid-Vision provide real-time data on stock levels
- Increase stock turnover rate - Fast goods movements thanks to prioritised storage bin allocation
- Automating material flow - using Ace robots for efficient transport processes
- Ensuring delivery capability - just-in-time concepts with precise
- Control by Grid-Control
- Utilising Industry 4.0 technologies - networked warehouse processes for maximum transparency
How can I increase the stock turnover rate?
Automated systems such as Gridstore can increase stock turnover by optimising article movements and reducing unnecessary stock levels.
Why are material supply and delivery capability so important?
If materials are not available on time, production may be halted. At the same time, it must be ensured that stocks do not remain in the warehouse for too long and cause costs. Optimised material supply ensures that all processes run smoothly.
How does Gridstore improve delivery capability?
Gridstore ensures reliable and punctual delivery through automated picking, optimised inventory management and flexible warehouse organisation.
