Distribution Center Retrofits

When it’s time to update your warehouse or distribution center, you may think a new construction project is the best option — but an existing distribution center retrofit offers more opportunities than you might expect. A retrofit also allows for improvements without delaying work.

Learn how retrofitting can benefit your warehouse or distribution center.

What Is a Distribution Center Retrofit?

If your current systems no longer serve your needs as efficiently as they should, it may be time to retrofit your warehouse. Distribution center retrofitting consists of modernizing intralogistics and logistics systems to make them more efficient and reliable. A retrofit will ensure technology and systems gain improvements to increase productivity.

Implementing a retrofit instead of new construction can help you save. By considering the layout and flow that best suits your system, you can upgrade your existing space to fit your operations better.

Benefits of Retrofitting Over New Construction

While new construction can help you expand your logistics, retrofitting is an excellent alternative that lets you continue production. When you retrofit a warehouse or distribution center, you can experience benefits like:

• Improved efficiency: The retrofitting process often includes upgrading warehouse equipment to newer technology so you can automate more tasks, increasing overall efficiency.
• Continued work: Your team can continue their duties as retrofitting occurs throughout the building. When planning your retrofit, you’ll go over details and plans to ensure the process doesn’t interfere with your operations.
• Lowered costs and planning: You’ll have less to plan and pay for when retrofitting specific systems in your warehouse.
• Reduced risk of failure: With retrofitting, you don’t have to worry about the risk of a new build falling through and decreasing workflow. Instead, you can continue working as the retrofit upgrades happen.
• Expanded storage and picking systems: When you retrofit your distribution center, you can implement new storage and picking systems to suit your logistics better.
