Unlock every inch of your building’s potential. Turn to LIDD to design or improve your warehouse. Our smart operating models are driven by science. The difference is data.
From sizing to equipment selection, we base our recommendations on data. Our engineers, analysts, and designers dive deep into your end-to-end operations to ensure every design decision, from layout to sizing, is justified.
Identify operational gaps and inefficiencies to accomplish your KPIs faster. Our work drives throughput and maximizes capacity whether you are reconfiguring an existing operation or building from the ground up.
Others automate out of fear of falling behind. We consider the full range of possibilities, from highly robotic facilities to simple cart-driven operations. Our designs are always driven by operating models informed by millions of lines of data – so you don’t have to guess if that investment is a good idea.
Don’t rely on benchmarks or rules of thumb. Size your building and every function within it by relying on a flexible operating model leveraging your data and our hands-on expertise.
From stock to dock, optimize operations by conducting a thorough analysis of current processes, assessing the gaps and developing comprehensive roadmaps for long-term success.
Select the most-fitting conveyors, sortation, automation, and equipment considering your people, your software, and the unique costs of your operating environment.
Take confidence in a fully-integrated operating model. When opening a new facility or transitioning your operations, we define the activities of each role in your four-walls, and optimize their interactions with your systems and the operating flow.
Capital is precious. We protect your spend with data-focused recommendations throughout the distribution center design process.
The risks of failure are grave. Rely on LIDD to tell truth from fiction to select and implement the right solutions. Our mature relationships with the major global integrators give you confidence that your best interests are driving your project.
