Effectively utilise all the available space in your warehouse through the usage of overhead space in order to achieve an increase in usable warehousing whilst maintaining the same footprint.

This is what integrated materials handling calls multiple flooring. By using a mezzanine floor usable warehouse space can be significantly increased without incurring all the costs that accompany building a new warehouse or building warehouse extensions. Warehouse operations can significantly increase the amount of storage, handling, production and automation through inserting a number of levels.

How does this work?

Integrated materials handling allows a box or product to be scanned and automatically assigned to the correct level. The automated system then manages using a mixed floor system, efficiently using each floor to store, manage and despatch products.

What’s the benefit?

Multiple flooring is one of the most efficient ways of increasing utilisation of your warehouse. It increases usable space and is simple to manage. Using a multiple flooring option also prevents any difficulties in communication that may occur between two separate warehouse operations and prevents any duplication costs such as administration, security etc.

The success.

Keymas recently worked with a company that used a multiple flooring system to effectively combine two warehouse operations under one roof. This meant that the costs of running two independent warehouses were cut to operate one warehouse utilising multiple floors.
