Warehouse scaling through modularity

Flexibility for the future

Non-binding initial consultation

Warehouse scaling means adapting an existing warehouse system so that it grows with a company's requirements - without major alterations or high investments in new infrastructure. Companies are faced with the challenge of expanding their storage capacities flexibly and economically when market conditions or production volumes change.

A scalable storage system must be expandable both horizontally and vertically and support new processes. A modular design makes it possible to seamlessly add additional components such as workstations, robots or software solutions without affecting ongoing operations.

Gridstore fulfils precisely these requirements. The system grows with the increasing requirements of a company and can be easily expanded to include new robots, bins or workstations - without costly alteration work or downtime.

Scaling of the Grid in every dimension

The Gridstore-Grid has a modular design and can be flexibly adapted to different areas and building shapes. While conventional storage racks have fixed sizes, the Grid adapts flexibly to existing areas and utilises the space optimally. The high storage density maximises the use of available space, even in buildings with limited space.

Advantages of unlimited scaling:

  • Horizontal and vertical expansion without structural changes.
  • Optimum utilisation of space, even in irregular floor plans or existing buildings.
  • Easy integration of new robots, bins or workstations to increase throughput.

Compared to conventional warehouse structures, the Grid offers greater adaptability, faster expansion options and better space utilisation.

Adaptation to existing structures

Many storage solutions require extensive structural adaptations - Gridstore takes a different approach: The system adapts to the building, not the other way round. Particularly in brownfield projects, i.e. existing warehouses or production facilities, it is crucial that a new storage solution can be flexibly integrated into the existing structure.

  • Individual integration:

    Whether production hall or winding warehouse - the Grid adapts to different floor plans, whether square, rectangular or with irregular surfaces.

  • Utilise existing building structures:

    It is possible to build around supporting columns or existing parts of the building without the need for alterations.

  • Fast installation:

    Thanks to prefabricated modules and standardised interfaces, Gridstore is ready for operation within a few days via plug & play integration, without affecting processes.

Easy expandability for the future

Growth does not follow a fixed plan. But clever preparation helps to seize opportunities at the right moment. Companies must be able to adapt their storage capacities dynamically without disrupting existing processes. The Gridstore Grid is designed to be expanded in stages in order to provide optimum performance and capacity at all times.

  • New robots, workstations or bins can be added seamlessly at any time. 

  • The Grid-Control software automatically recognises new components and integrates them into the operating sequence.

  • Both the Orbit workstation for high throughputs and the Shift workstation for medium throughputs can be added without any problems.

Companies that can react flexibly to market changes secure a competitive advantage in the long term. This flexibility enables them to take advantage of growth opportunities and continuously optimise their warehouse processes.
