10 Common Challenges in Material Handling and How to Solve Them

Material handling can be a delicate process, and without the right tools, the right product might not get to where it needs to go on time. Obviously, producing a quality product and being able to send it on time to your customers is the cornerstone of any successful packaging or fulfilment business. If you and your facility are not operating at your best, your clients can suffer, and in turn, mess up your bottom line. 

In this age of robotics and less human interaction, it’s only fair and reasonable that you should expect that from our material handling solutions as well. At Texo, we have combined new industry standards with our exceptional and trusted Swedish engineering to provide you with our best ASRS systems. 

Using our material handling systems can help you in the following areas:  

• Inefficient Space Utilization: With Texo’s material handling solutions, you can be sure that you’re using your warehouse space as efficiently as possible, allowing you to optimize your warehouse. 
• High Equipment Downtime: How much more effective would your warehouse be if you could run your machines with less downtime? That’s what you can expect from Texo’s ASRS systems. 
• Inefficient Workflows: While there are many advantages to working with people, people make mistakes, and those mistakes can be costly. Using Texo’s material handling solutions enables your personnel to still be involved, but rely on the state of the art ASRS system to do all the heavy lifting–ensuring that your warehouse runs as smoothly as possible. 
• Labor Costs: With automated machinery, the number of people you have on the floor at any given time can be greatly reduced. 
• Inventory Inaccuracy: Being able to know what’s in your stock at any given moment? That’s game-changing! With our smart solutions for material handling, you’ll always know what’s in your warehouse—and how much. 
• Safety Risks and Accidents: People make mistakes, and often those mistakes can lead to serious injury or cause other warehouse accidents. With our ASRS systems, the robotics do the heavy lifting, organizing, and sorting to help keep your team safe.  
• Picking Errors and Inefficiencies: Choosing the incorrect inventory can lead to supply chain issues later on. Material handling solutions like Texo’s systems can help make sure that those issues never happen, helping you have a clean supply chain. 
• Poor Inventory Organization: Even with all the right analog systems in place to organize your inventory, products can still fall through the cracks—literally and figuratively. Material handling solutions make sure everything you have in your warehouse is accounted for with incredible accuracy. 
• Lack of Scalability and Flexibility: What happens when your business starts to grow, and you need more storage solutions? Without our systems, you’ll have to reconfigure everything on your own. 
• Poor Data Utilization: Your warehouse operations are only as accurate and efficient as your data, so you need to make sure it’s accurate and up-to-date at all times. This is where our machines can help: by ensuring that your data is accurate and ready to share with your team at any given time. 

Material handling solutions are a key part of any supply chain, so it’s important to ensure that you have the best systems in place to organize, inform, and synthesize your warehouse. Whether you’re a smaller company or you’re working at a global level, Texo’s intralogistic services can help you reach your material handling goals.
