# Dynamic storage systems

Dynamic storage systems including article movement



A dynamic warehouse requires dynamic storage systems. By this we primarily mean racking systems for goods in purchasing and sales in wholesale or for raw materials for industrial processing. With such storage system solutions, goods in the warehouse are „mobile“.



The systems allow incoming goods to be stored where space is available. And that they are available for retrieval where they are needed. In addition, thanks to dynamic storage systems, distances are short, which simplifies warehousing. This is because dynamic systems organise the warehouse flexibly. The material flow is faster, the distances are shorter and the storage space is optimally utilised.



What are the advantages of dynamic storage systems?



Dynamic warehouses are also known as „chaotic warehouses“. However, they have nothing to do with confusion. Rather with the word „cháos“ in its ancient Greek meaning as „empty space“. Their advantage lies in their flexibility and optimum utilisation of space. Storage using dynamic storage systems is therefore particularly efficient.



In dynamic storage systems, there are rollers or cylinders on which the stored items can be moved from the loading to the unloading location. For example, the loading location can be at the goods entrance to the warehouse, while the unloading location is at the other end of the storage aisle or warehouse.



Some dynamic system solutions are designed as „rolling racks“. They can be completely moved and shifted. This flexibility represents a real optimisation for warehouse technology.



Storemaster® offers customised, dynamic storage systems in a modular design. Examples include our ArmStrong® plus cantilever storage system and CoilStore® horizontal for heavy loads. Our dynamic storage systems can be quickly assembled and flexibly adapted to any storage size. Goods can be easily removed for internal transport using roller systems, practical cantilever arms or easy access for ground vehicles.



What are dynamic storage systems suitable for?



Transporting and mobile solutions make dynamic warehousing possible in the first place. This is primarily found where a high turnover of goods is the order of the day. Examples include industrial warehouses for the further processing of raw materials.



Warehouses with so-called fast-moving items and perishable goods are another example where dynamic storage systems are used. This is the case for wholesalers of food, pharmaceutical or cosmetic products.



The counterpart to dynamic warehousing is static warehousing. Here, each stored item has its own fixed location. Each shelf is only intended for a specific product or range. If the product is „out“, the storage location remains empty. Static warehouses are advantageous, for example, as special warehouses for hazardous goods or in specialised retail stores with customer traffic.
