This session will explore how OEMs manage space utilization within their distribution centers and across their networks. Participants will hear about the decision-making process needed to identify key metrics, associated targets, and the trade-off between optimizing space and expanding facility footprints. 

We will cover a full range of warehouse storage solutions, starting with a strong focus on manual options such as very narrow aisles, mezzanine layouts, and innovative space optimization strategies during storage transitions. Then we will hear from colleagues implementing space-saving automation solutions and learn about key considerations OEMs must navigate in the strategic transition toward automation. This discussion will cover solutions across the full range of opportunities available to solve for all needs, budgets, and timelines.
