Maximizing Cubic utility
In modern 3PL and contract logistics, profitability is defined by Cubic Velocity. Simply owning floor space is insufficient; facility managers must maximize the vertical dimension while maintaining optimized "Pick Faces" and MHE (Material Handling Equipment) accessibility.
Engineering Variables:
- Aisle Geometry: Wide aisles (3.5m+) facilitate standard forklift safety but reduce storage density. VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) systems can increase capacity by over 40% but require specialized wire-guided equipment.
- Clearance Math: "Clear height" must subtract at least 1.5m for fire suppression (sprinklers), lighting, and HVAC ventilation to comply with safety codes.
This tool provides a foundational footprint and capacity estimate. Professional warehouse designers utilize this logic to determine facility suitability for specific supply chain contracts before proceeding to detailed CAD layout modeling.
