Retail warehouses face unique operational challenges including fluctuating order peaks, high requirements for cargo picking accuracy, growing low-carbon operation demands and strict control on long-term operating costs. Building a targeted warehouse plan centered on BYD electric forklift can help retail operators optimize overall operation performance without extra unnecessary resource investment.

The first step of the plan is to adjust the internal warehouse layout to match the operation characteristics of the electric forklift. Different from traditional fuel handling equipment, the electric forklift features compact body design and flexible turning performance, which allows warehouse planners to narrow the reserved passage width between storage racks reasonably. This adjustment can increase the actual cargo storage space by a considerable proportion, without influencing the normal driving and handling efficiency of the forklift. You can divide the warehouse into four core functional zones including goods receiving, high-density storage, order picking and goods dispatching, and arrange the moving path of the forklift to avoid repeated cross between different zones, which can effectively reduce the invalid moving distance of each handling cycle.

The second part of the plan is to make a scientific operation and energy replenishment schedule that matches the performance of the electric forklift. The stable endurance performance of the electric forklift can support continuous handling work across the peak order period of the whole day. You can arrange the energy replenishment process of all forklifts in the low electricity price period at night, which will not affect the normal operation in daytime, and also reduce the overall energy cost of the warehouse. It is also suggested to arrange dedicated staff for daily pre-operation inspection, to confirm the working status of the forklift before each shift starts, so as to avoid unexpected downtime in peak operation periods.
