Our latest solution

Earlier this year, a major electrical distributor partnered with SEC Storage to develop a new warehouse; designed to maximise space, streamline operations, and enhance service across the UK. By consolidating inventory from multiple subsidiaries into a single facility with around 10-12,000 SKUs, we created a setup that supports both current needs and future growth.

To ensure success, the distributor utilised SEC Storage’s AI-driven design platform, DIDO, to guide the design process. With this advanced technology, they gained a data-backed solution tailored to their broader market expansion goals, positioning them for continued innovation in 2024 and beyond.

SEC Storage specialises in storage systems for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). We make the best use of customer data to design the optimal storage system for our customers. SEC Storage warehouse system designs are scalable over time and provide access to technology, often unaffordable for SMEs, in a manageable, phased approach including a wide range of automated systems such as robotics (AMRs) and shuttle systems.

Warehouses and distribution centres facilitate the flow of goods between businesses and consumers. Optimising the processes within a warehouse improves the efficiency of that workflow. Maximising storage capacity, increasing put away and retrieval times, improving pick accuracy and reducing picking time all contribute to improvements in productivity.

AMRs provide scalable solutions that grow with your business, enhancing productivity, accuracy, and speed while reducing labour costs. This positive ROI makes them an ideal choice for SMEs looking to meet increasing consumer fulfilment demands.
