 The benefits of increasing the amount of space in your existing warehouse are obvious: the costs of moving an operation from one premises to another can be huge. If you are building a new warehouse, planning space saving measures before you build can decrease the amount of land you need as well as potentially reducing the size of the building you will need.
 An electronic wire guidance system in conjunction with high rise high density warehousing and order pickers or turret trucks is the most cost effective and efficient method of improving your warehouse. With a system tailored to your needs, EWG will allow you to utilise the maximum floor space possible, increase productivity, achieve higher storage densities and generally improve safety.
 As the name suggests, Electronic Wire Guidance Australasia specialise electronic wire guidance (EWG) systems for high rise high density storage solutions. EWG allows the use of electronically guided order pickers and turret trucks. By narrowing your isle size, vertically extending your racking system and using turret trucks and order pickers you can not only increase the amount of storage space but also improve safety and productivity.
EWG consists of a continuous closed loop guide wire installed in the floor of the warehouse which sends a signal to onboard sensors and electronics on the trucks. Because turret trucks are electronically guided they can travel at full speed without safety concerns and have a single cycle through-put of 30 to 40 pallets, compared to 12 to 15 pallets with a conventional reach truck. Trucks can also be automatically slowed when they approach the end of an isle to reduce the risk of collisions and accidents.
