You can save money by investing in quality products and educating your employees on proper equipment maintenance.
Non-automated storage equipment tends to be the most common. They are often grouped together with engineered systems. When materials are not being transported, storage equipment is used for holding or buffering them. These periods could be temporary pauses during long term transportation or long term storage to allow stock buildup. Most storage equipment refers primarily to racks, shelves and pallets that allow materials to be stored in an organized manner for transport or consumption. Many companies have explored ways to improve the efficiency of storage equipment. They have created proprietary packaging that allows products or materials of certain types to be conserved space while still in inventory.
Warehouses are busy environments with constant movement. But they don’t need to be chaotic or labor-intensive.

Increased Capacity.... Improved Working Conditions.... Product Value Addition.
Storage equipment is any piece of equipment that is used to hold or buffer materials over time (and may include transport); typically, it helps preserve valuable work floor space. Having enough working space is critical for product protection, worker safety, and lean manufacturing.
Material handling refers to how materials are stored, organized, treated, moved, and otherwise processed on a smaller scale, within a building or from a transport vehicle to a building and vice versa.
