The pandemic gave rise to many trends, perhaps the biggest of which was a focus on do-it-yourself home projects. From constructing new sheds to adding home gyms, building decks and more, people have used the past year to enhance their homes.Retailers who carry the materials for all those projects-like Home Depot, Lowes, and ACE Hardware-are dealing with the challenges of keeping up, including inside their distribution centers.These companies, and others, are having to make the most of their current DC space utilization. Often, this means reconfiguring racks to incorporate narrow aisles."Customers with existing facility size restraints are forced to rethink their current layouts and processes, often leading them to re-imagine their racking footprint-narrowing the aisles and building taller shelves," says Michael Brunnet, systems trucks project manager at Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. |
