Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consult a warehouse storage expert when evaluating my options?
Researching warehouse storage and material handling options is an important first step in understanding what may be possible for your operation. That’s why REB provides educational resources covering warehouse storage, material handling, automation, and related topics. Our articles, case studies, guides, and other resources are designed to help you understand your options and make more informed decisions.
When you’re ready to take it a step further, you can work directly with a REB expert who will help you evaluate your operational requirements, compare potential solutions, identify considerations you may have overlooked, and determine which options are best suited to your application.
Who writes REB’s educational content?
REB’s educational content is developed with input from experienced professionals across the company. Subject matter experts contribute their industry knowledge and practical experience to articles, case studies, guides, webinars, and other educational resources. Individual content pieces identify the applicable expert or author and link to their profile when appropriate.
How does a REB expert help with my project?
Every REB project begins with a conversation with an expert to understand your application and determine the best solution for your needs. The level of involvement depends on the scope of the project. A comprehensive warehouse design and project managed system may involve extensive collaboration to evaluate storage and material handling requirements, develop the layout, select equipment, and manage the project through completion.
For a smaller project, such as selecting picking carts, a REB expert can help determine the right cart configuration, recommend improvements to a solution you already have in mind, and identify the manufacturer and product that best fits your application. Regardless of project size, REB’s goal is to make sure the solution is appropriate for your operation, not simply to provide the product you initially request.
How do REB’s experts work with customers to customize warehouse storage solutions?
Every warehouse storage solution REB provides is tailored to the customer’s operational requirements. Even when a project uses standard storage equipment, the overall solution must account for factors such as available space, inventory characteristics, storage capacity, accessibility, picking requirements, and workflow. REB’s experts evaluate these factors to determine the appropriate equipment and layout for each application.
Depending on the project, this may involve a straightforward equipment selection or a comprehensive storage system design that integrates multiple types of storage and material handling equipment.
What types of warehouse solutions can REB’s experts help with?
REB’s experts can help with a wide range of warehouse storage and material handling solutions, including pallet racking, shelving, pick carts, vertical lift modules, conveyors, automated storage systems, warehouse safety solutions, and custom storage systems. They can also help evaluate how individual products and systems should work together as part of a larger warehouse solution.
Can your experts evaluate and improve my existing warehouse layout?
Yes. REB experts can help organizations evaluate and improve existing warehouse operations as well as plan new facilities. Depending on your needs, an evaluation may involve storage capacity, layout, workflow, accessibility, safety, material handling products selection, or opportunities to increase storage density and operational efficiency. REB’s team is highly skilled in rack system dismantle and reconfiguration.
What industries do your experts work with?
REB’s team has experience developing warehouse storage and material handling solutions for organizations across a wide range of industries, including retail, manufacturing, automotive, distribution, food and beverage, and other specialized applications. Because storage requirements vary significantly by operation, REB’s experts consider the specific needs of each facility rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
