warehousing and distribution facility solutions

Storage Systems Midwest, Inc. specializes in warehousing and distribution facility solutions.  As a specialist we often work with companies to analyze present and projected warehousing and distribution requirements. This usually involves designing and developing the internal material handling storage systems needs, including operational flow, controls, procedures and documentation, based upon current and forecasted business. Storage Systems Midwest, Inc. capabilities include the development and statistical analysis of inventory data; material flow analysis; three-dimensional computer aided layouts; information and controls systems architecture; detailed equipment specifications; and project management; installation; testing, and training.

We design storage and operations solutions around your unique requirements, not just the capabilities of a fork lift truck. We apply analysis techniques along with solid heuristics and experience to deliver individual solutions to meet your unique business.  Storage Systems Midwest, Inc. will work with you.
