Looking to take your facility to the next level in 2023? Implementing high-quality solutions can help increase efficiency and improve your space! We outlined 5 ways you should be looking to improve your facility in 2023.
Grow With Your Company
Are you in need of ways to keep up with your growing operation? Building systems, interior walls, and rooms can help expand your processes to accompany your increased growth.
Building a new building or expanding on your existing facility provides additional space for new or growing operations. If you are looking into a new building, pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) are efficient and fast-constructing structures that make for great facilities.
When it comes to wall systems, there are multiple options to choose from. Whether it be stick-built, IMP, or modular walls, all of these solutions provide proper separation while also keeping your staff close to their respective facility processes.
These building systems, walls, and rooms provide a method for outfitting or expanding existing processes with new equipment whether it’s filling your floor space or making use of your vertical space.
Utilize your vertical space
Maximizing vertical space is an essential part of improving your facility. Vertical space is any area above ground level, commonly this space is largely unused by many facility managers. In order to maximize this space, utilizing the right material handling solutions is necessary. Some of these solutions are mezzanines, pallet racking, and vertical lifting modules (VLM).
These solutions all make efficient use of vertical space by manipulating your storage areas from taking up all of the ground floor space to taking up your vertical space. They all do this in different ways, so making sure you are choosing the right solution for your needs is important.
Stay Up to Date with Facility Safety
Updating your safety solutions is necessary for maintaining a high-functioning facility. The importance of the safety of your facility is not just for your staff, but also for your materials and equipment. Some solutions that help to increase safety include safety gates, guardrails, and safety markings. These solutions help section off or guard hazardous areas, keeping staff from harm and materials from damage.
Adding these safety protocols and scheduling routine maintenance plays a major key in staying up to date with your facility’s safety. The preventive maintenance of your equipment can keep it from breaking down, thus maintaining safety and efficiency around this equipment.
Ensure your Dock Operation is Properly Outfitted
When it comes to preventative maintenance your dock equipment and overhead doors are the solutions most in need of this service.
With these solutions having high usage rates, breakdowns are very common. Preventative maintenance helps prevent these breakdowns from happening in the future, thereby eliminating downtime.
Implementing new sectional doors, dock levelers, shelters, and seals can help start your facility off on the right track in 2023!
