Spare parts and MRO distribution
Spare-parts and MRO warehouses hold many SKUs with a long tail: many items move only a few times a year, but each time they have to be found and shipped correctly. These are the usual tasks and the equipment for each.
Typical tasks
- Dense storage of many slow-moving SKUs
- Picking many order lines with small quantities
- Mixed sizes: small parts in totes, large parts on pallets
- Packing, measuring, weighing and shipping by order
What to send us: A list of SKUs with sizes, weights and movement frequency, order lines per day, the share of small and large items, and a site plan.
Common questions
What is the most compact way to store slow-moving SKUs?
Small parts are usually stored in a miniload or with case-handling robots, large parts in narrow aisles or a pallet AS/RS. Zones are set by SKU size, quantity and movement frequency, and calculated per project.
What if item sizes vary a lot?
Usually the range is split into a tote zone and a pallet zone, with oversized items stored separately. We need your SKU list with sizes and weights.
