Have you ever explored the option of high speed doors, but wondered whether you really needed them? You might have liked the idea of a super fast roller door letting your forklifts operate in turbo mode, but didn’t know if you could justify the investment. The truth is, (though we don’t like to admit it), not every facility needs one. Not all operations are big enough, or of a manner in which a fast, flexible, rapid roller door is needed, that can accommodate large amounts of traffic while maintaining a constant barrier against temperature loss and dust transfer.

Modularity refers to the degree to which a system’s components may be separated and recombined (think of lego). When we imagine the average warehouse layout, immediately we have a modular system. Most empty warehouses present a cavernous space filled with lighting and little else.
Into this we put stock, shelved or otherwise and the millions of different configurations makes it a modular system. Modularity offers the benefits of being flexible to the changing demand of your environment and the ability to offer the optimal solution for each situation.
