Considering Automation Solutions for Warehouse Operations

To determine the type of automation solutions in rolling shutters that you need for your warehouse, you must first consider the day-to-day needs of your work processes. Depending on the warehouse and industrial location, you have different requirements for your mot rolling shutter.

For example, if you operate a cold store for a food manufacturer, you will be primarily concerned with temperature regulation and control of temperature fluctuations by reducing the opening time of a door.

following is the list of objectives as a starting point for defining the needs, taking into account how your high speed doors serve storage operations:

1

Loss of cold / heat or profit prevention

Loss of cold / heat or profit prevention

If this is the main purpose of your roller shutters, you should know

  • How well the door is isolated
  • The airtightness of the door
  • How long is the door open per cycle?
2

Keep away dirt, dust, vermin, insects and other contaminants

  • The acoustic rating of the door
  • The leakage through the door when it is closed

Traffic management is a key priority for warehouses. If this is why you're looking to get roller doors installed, consider

  • How quickly the door will open
  • The door's typical duty cycle
  • How the door communicates to/from traffic
5

Separation of process areas
