Do you constantly have problems at the warehouse due to errors and confusion with parts and pieces? This is a problem that materials managers cope with in a daily basis, and the most serious aspect of this situation is that it will continue to increase, generating severe consequences.

Let’s know about some of the reasons why you should implement an automated warehouse and stop losing money, wasting time and having low productivity levels.

**- Avoid confusions**

In many industries such as: automotive, aerospace or auto parts (related to manufacture), there are three to four assembly lines; in which some parts can me almost identical and therefore, the operator is not able to accurately identify one from another.

After management recognizes this problem, it starts to motivate improvement and this question arises: which system offers more accuracy and productivity to my processes?

Frequently, the best option is an automated warehouse. These are just some of the benefits it has to offer: 

- More accuracy in parts selection.
- High certainty because parts or pieces are not interchanged even if they look alike.
- Higher productivity in all operations of the company.
- Up to 80% of space saving because conventional racks are eliminated.
- Reduces operators’ errors up to 99.9%
- Eliminates wastes related to product handling.

**- Double checking for greater accuracy**

By means of software and hardware, operators are told what they have to order, what they have to take and from where and how many parts they need. It is fully guided system.

The process is accurate and safe; however, there are other tools such as radiofrequency terminals, [Pick to light](http://www.gieicom.com/eng/products/picking-ptl) and[Pick to voice](http://www.gieicom.com/eng/products/pick-to-voice-ptv) that allow double-checking besides of updating the inventory in real time.

**- Different automated warehouse options**

There are different automated warehouse options to choose from, each one is design for diverse applications, industries, type and handling of products.

There is a wide variety of options, from  [Shuttle VLM](http://www.gieicom.com/eng/products/shuttle-vertical-lif-module-vlm), [Horizontal carrousels](http://www.gieicom.com/eng/products/horizontal-carousels), [Vertical carrousels,](http://www.gieicom.com/eng/products/vertical-carousels) to [Miniload, AS-RS](http://www.gieicom.com/eng/products/automated-storage/automated-storage-miniloads) among others. All of them combined with the appropriate software will solve issues and provide 99.9% of control.
