Keeping up with a warehouse’s various operations is considerable work, especially when you are unsure which areas need improvement. At Fairchild Equipment, we will audit your facility and work with you to design a warehouse that meets your business goals.
Warehouse Operations Analysis
Our warehouse analysis will enable you to identify areas where you can benefit from better efficiency and safety.
Here are some of the factors we will analyze in a basic warehouse review:
- Walking through the facility and assessing storage and material handling mediums
- Offering ideas to explore ways to improve
- Basic design ideas of where low-hanging fruit can be grabbed from
- The presence and functionality of safety tools and equipment
- Your staff’s observance of procedures during picking operations
- Safe storage of materials on pallets
- The use of technologies such as barcode scanners and warehouse management systems
Our sales team will visit your location to perform this basic review at no cost. Once we have analyzed the data, we will present you with a report that will guide future planning. Together, we can develop basic ideas to enhance warehouse operations.
Warehouse Storage and Handling Design Systems Study
If you would like a more in-depth warehouse audit, we will study your warehouse storage and handling design systems. This detailed study has a cost compared to the basic review. It will last 40 hours and will include services such as:
- Meeting with process owners to understand existing processes and how they run
- Taking stock of existing material handling equipment
- Measuring storage and work areas
- Evaluating operational procedures and their history
- Assessing future equipment needs
- Creating concepts for new systems
- Review of newer technologies that might provide increased operational efficiency
We will provide a report at the end of the study consisting of drawings, quotations and data. If we propose adding new system equipment to your warehouse, the report will include an attachment with a clarification of scope, elaborate drawings, costs, lead times and your capacity for new machines. Projects completed with Fairchild Equipment following this study will receive a credit back to apply to the project cost.

Hyster & Yale Robotics Solutions Studies
Basic Review: Fairchild Equipment warehouse specialists visit a customer’s site to gather pertinent details about the operation, their goals and objectives, and content to determine needs and return on investment (ROI) qualifications for robotic fork truck (AGV) applications.
Design Study – When a qualified need is identified and vetted by the customer, Fairchild Equipment, and HYG Robotics, a proposal will be submitted to visit the customer’s site to do an in-depth analysis of the operation to design the elements of the new automated system. Following the audit, we will create a complete scope and sequence of operations that defines the implementation plan of a Robotic Fork Truck System. This will require the involvement from both Fairchild Equipment and Hyster-Yale Manufacturing Engineering personnel working together to create the best system for your operation.
