Automation Integration
Roll Form Racking Systems by Advance are purpose-built to support today’s automated and semi-automated warehouse environments. Designed with tight tolerances, consistent geometry, and high configurability, Advance roll form racking integrates seamlessly with ASRS, pallet shuttles, pick modules, conveyors, and robotic systems.
As labor shortages, throughput demands, and e-commerce pressures continue to accelerate automation adoption, roll form racking provides the precision, flexibility, and cost efficiency required for scalable automated solutions.
Seamless Integration with Automation Technologies
Advance roll form racking is engineered to integrate with:
Pallet shuttle systems
ASRS cranes and mini-load systems
Pick modules and mezzanines
Conveyors, sortation, and robotic picking
Pre-punched uprights allow for easy attachment of guide rails, sensors, guarding, lighting, and sprinkler components, minimizing field modifications and installation delays.
Automation-Ready Roll Form Racking
Optimized for High-Throughput Operations
Automated facilities demand speed and uptime. Roll form racking supports:
High selectivity layouts for fast pallet access
Dense storage configurations when automation reduces operator impact risk
Efficient material flow aligned with WMS-driven fulfillment strategies
Reduced aisle damage in automated or semi-automated zones
By eliminating overbuilt structural steel where it’s not needed, roll form racking improves both throughput and cost efficiency.
Designed for Integrators and Automation Partners
Advance roll form racking is engineered with integrators in mind, supporting:
Faster design cycles
Predictable installation outcomes
Reduced over-engineering
Compatibility with industry-standard automation platforms
Advance’s team-selling approach ensures early collaboration with integrators, engineers, and end users to deliver automation-ready solutions that perform as intended.
