Unlock warehouse capacity with warehouse-ready, small footprint solutions

Warehouse-ready, small footprint solutions are automation systems designed to maximize storage and fulfillment capabilities within a limited warehouse footprint. They combine high-density storage, automation, intelligent software and goods-to-person (GTP) stations to help small and midsized operations improve capacity and fulfillment performance without expanding their facility.

Small footprint warehouse automation uses high-density storage to store more inventory within a smaller area. Solutions such as AutoStore by FORTNA can be configured around existing infrastructure and available floor space, helping distribution operations add capacity for additional inventory, fulfillment workflows or future growth.

Small footprint automation solutions can be designed to scale as business needs change. For example, the FORTNA AutoStore solution can expand by adding storage capacity, robots and goods-to-person stations, allowing distribution operations to increase throughput and fulfillment capacity without overhauling the entire system.

Small footprint automation can benefit a range of small to midsized distribution and fulfillment operations with limited space and growing inventory or order volumes. These solutions can also support in-store fulfillment, allowing retailers to increase available inventory while using space more efficiently and fulfilling online and in-store demand from the same location.

A warehouse-ready, small footprint solution can help organizations maximize space, improve inventory control, reduce costs, increase fulfillment productivity and respond more quickly to changing demand. By using proven, modular automation, distribution operations can create a scalable foundation for future growth.
