Many warehouses face a common challenge: insufficient storage capacity due to inefficient space utilization. Random parcel placement leads to wasted warehouse room, while labor time spent locating items negatively impacts profitability.
The challenge
KPG Wholesale, an Estonian company, encountered these issues when consolidating multiple small warehouses into one larger facility. Their previous manual system, which worked adequately in smaller spaces, became impractical at scale. Without automation, searching for empty spaces and locating parcels consumed considerable time and resources.
The solution
KPG implemented Parcelcube’s automated measuring system to address these operational inefficiencies. The technology measures all incoming parcels, calculates optimal shelf placement, and identifies available storage locations automatically.
According to KPG’s Head of System Development: “Parcelcube is a great system for us, it would be very challenging to manage the warehouse parcel system without it.” The organization particularly values the system’s ease of use and the combination of time and space savings it delivers.
How Parcelcube 900 works
- Place packages on the device for measurement
- System measures dimensions and weight in under one second
- Software integrates with logistics platforms, linking measurements to item identifiers
By implementing this technology, KPG Wholesale achieved significant improvements in warehouse efficiency and productivity, demonstrating how proper automation tools enhance space management.
