Fairview is a company with multiple locations in the US and Canada. They are a leading supplier of industrial quality fittings, hoses, and other quality products to distributors and OEMs.
In the post-COVID environment, like many other companies, the organization had amassed an excess of inventory.
Lack of space was becoming an issue and another costly expansion appeared to be the only option.
The organization needed an efficient storage solution that optimized their available space.
A previous expansion was causing a break in the organization’s workflow, making it necessary for workers to cross over an entire building between inventory and processing.

Reviewed the facilities and their layouts, as well as the full process and workflow of the organization.
Reconfigured existing racking and incorporated new high density (push-back, double deep) racking.
Installed heavy-duty guarding for additional safety.

The new racking configuration provided an additional level, better organization of inventory, and resulted in providing the organization with a better understanding of their inventory.
The new layout and workflow improved the process flow of the organization.
The project resulted in tremendous cost saving for the organization.
The organization was able to avoid a costly second expansion.
