2 Pop Quiz Increased product customization due to market demands? SKU explosion? Lean journey? Being asked to do more with what you have or less?

3

4 What is high density storage? Store more in same amount of space Use less space for existing storage Optimize storage to manufacturing flow

5 EXPANSION WITH COMPACTION

6 Why is density critical? Floor space is both a revenue and expense Products Highly customized Highly competitive

7 Why is density critical? Manufacturing Just in time, nimble Replacement parts production lot retention Seasonal stocking or changeovers Energy efficiency Regulatory Pharmaceutical

8

9 Traditional high density storage

10 What are the drawbacks with high density storage?

11 Pop Quiz Who s heard of mobilized storage or racking? What is your understanding of mobilized storage? What s your perception of mobilized storage?

12 What is mobilized storage? In essence, a way to achieve maximum density without sacrificing selectivity, accessibility and efficiency.

13 For example

14

15 While new to US mobilized storage is not new Long history (40+ years) in Europe, Asia Floor space and land is at a premium Facilities are landlocked Very large format systems Structural footings, level rail Primarily large DC facilities

16 New technology In the US today Increasing adoption in the US today Building expansion is expensive UNLEVELED flat flooring 3/16 over any 2, ¼ over 10 Bolted carriages Carriage piggy-backing Articulation

17 In the US today

18 The value to you... Wasting Time vs. Organizing Material Wasting Space vs. Increasing Storage Limiting Profits vs. Increasing Revenue

19 Mobilized storage is built around your needs Single or Multiple Aisles Common & Priority Aisles Secure Lock Out

20 Design Flexibility Modules designed around building columns

21 Not just a concept Accepted. Proven.

22 Representative applications Toyota Motor Manfacturing Consolidation of two truck manufacturing lines (Tundra and Tacoma) Storage space needed optimization to accommodate new production lines Point of use material handling strategy Producing 200,000 trucks annual with potential for additional capacity WITHOUT expansion Eliminated 2 nd Facility Operational Costs Increased LEAN Efficiency Created Additional Opportunities for Growth

23 Representative applications Aveva Drug Delivery Systems Consolidation of all repair parts and tooling to central area Implemented inventory control software Captured over 10,000 unique SKUs providing locatable and individual spot for each part Repurposed Manufacturing Floor Space Reduced Loss Single Employee Control

24 Mobilization as a strategy Three (3) Significant Questions Operational Safety Fire Protection Seismic Security

25 The 100/100/500 question or whatever your Workmen s Comp and Employer s Liability limits are

26 Safety on Board Multiple forms of integrated safety Aisle entry beams Light curtains E-Stops Photo-sweeps Auto-aisle lockout and manual reset Audible alarms Operational Safety

27 Fire Protection - ESFR Systems Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) Ceiling mounted Provides protection that exceeds that of in-rack systems High output, high volume systems are located in ceiling spaces using very large, high volume/high pressure heads Fire Protection

28 Fire Protection - In-Rack Systems Rigid, in-rack sprinkler lines are connected to overhead main-lines with flex hosing Sealed, swivel joints allow connections up to 3 in diameter and accommodate carriage movement Fire Fire Protection Protection

29 Seismic Challenges Typically a 4:1 height: width ratio Based on ground force accelerations Goal is to structurally tie piggy-backed carriages together for calculations Seismic Security

30 Is mobilized storage the answer for you? Do you want More space Avoid expansion construction Stock flexibility Scalable, movable system Are you considering other high-density storage solutions?

31 What to consider Are the carriages welded or bolted? How is safety integrated and controlled? How are power failures handled? Are there seismic challenges?

32 What to consider How is fire protection/suppression addressed? Experience: how many systems are in use? What technical support is available?

33 Design considerations A MOVER Velocity B MOVER C MOVER D MOVER SKU splits Seasonality Flow of facility design

34 Design considerations Full pallet vs. case pick or individual SKU s Pick to order / zone picking Material handling equipment Staging WIP Finished good

35 ROI? Cost/sq. ft. new construction Fork truck Travel distances Annual maintenance Fuel costs Picking velocity, increased efficiencies Revenue/sq. ft. of floor Annual damage/loss of material Cost of off-site storage

36 Is mobilized storage the answer for you?
