Porsche Cars Australia required a high-performance storage solution for their newly developed national parts distribution centre. With a commitment to maintaining the luxury brand’s reputation for precision and quality, the warehouse had to support fast, accurate order picking for over 12,000 unique automotive parts, while also allowing for future growth.
Challenges:
- Large SKU volume with small-sized components
- Need for high-density storage without compromising access speed
- Security and inventory management for high-value items
- Flexibility for future expansion without requiring full system overhaul
Solution Delivered:
Absolute Storage Systems installed the SSI Schafer Regal 3000 modular shelving system, customised with over 30,000 bin locations, designed to store a wide range of small parts efficiently. Each bin location was carefully configured with adjustable shelves, dividers, lockable doors, and drawers to suit the varied item dimensions and security needs.
Key Features:
- Flexible bin configurations for more than 12,600 SKUs
- 40% capacity for future growth already built in
- Modular layout for quick reconfiguration
- Lockable compartments for high-value items
- Seamless integration with Porsche’s internal warehouse management system
Result:
The installation significantly improved space utilisation, picking accuracy, and inventory security. The solution allowed Porsche to maintain a clean, organised system that reflects their brand’s standards, while keeping operations scalable and ready for future expansion.
