Formal inspection of these systems should include an immediate written reporting system by the maintenance engineer / operator who will have day-to-day responsibility for the system to ensure that the quantity and scale of any problems can be analysed by the PRRS.

When you drill right down to the core challenges created by omni-channel retail, storage systems play a key role in ensuring smooth intralogistics for successful fulfilment across the board. This will be on the minds of many retailers preparing for the annual peak season, kicking off with Black Friday on 24 November, followed by Cyber Monday and the Christmas shopping period.
