Prefabricated modular industrial buildings: why it is the preferred solution for leading companies in the sector.
Seizing opportunities and overcoming obstacles, made possible by the rapid installation of prefabricated modular industrial buildings.
Competition within national and international logistics is fierce. In a world where geopolitics and consumer habits are changing almost at lightning speed, finding opportunities and overcoming obstacles are key to success in the sector.
Prefabricated logistics buildings make it possible to set up large storage and work spaces in a very short space of time and quickly become operational at the chosen locations. And this is a valuable advantage both for seizing opportunities on the fly as well as for dodging obstacles and finding solutions to overcome them.
The opening of new markets, the temporary needs of large customers in certain locations, the lower cost of a type of transport that allows significant savings in time and money in shipments, are some of these opportunities.
The rapid installation of industrial buildings for the logistics sector makes it possible to act at breakneck speed in all cases in order to have the facilities that the company requires in the location where it needs them and operational in a very short time. An efficient response to logistics and storage available for purchase or rental.
Adaptability and cost-effective flexibility in industrial buildings for the logistics sector.
Rapid adaptability to changing situations goes hand in hand with the above points and is another reason why large players in the logistics and industrial sector choose prefabricated modular industrial buildings.
These solutions allow for the rapid growth of facilities at one location. Or, if necessary, the equally fast dismantling and relocation to another location. Closer to a specific port or airport, to a specific urban area, to a supplier or consignee…
Moreover, prefabricated modular industrial buildings allow the profitability that every company demands and needs. They have a long useful life, practically no maintenance requirements and you can choose the modality that best suits the company by opting for the purchase or rental of the removable industrial building.
Removable modular industrial buildings and optimisation for logistics.
These types of buildings meet the requirements of the sector, with spaces optimised for the daily operations, tasks and needs that logistics work requires nowadays.
Starting with the ease of space organisation. Solutions such as removable steel industrial buildings provide large open-plan spaces that can be used in height for a very high level of useful storage space and to facilitate operations. With ease of interior mobility and to design an optimised storage, loading and unloading space that allows the necessary tasks to be carried out with the minimum movements and in the minimum possible time.
In addition, it allows the easy and quick installation of accessories for prefabricated modular industrial buildings for logistics companies that contribute to facilitating the tasks required by the company. These include:
- Loading docks that allow faster and safer loading and unloading tasks for a more agile and efficient supply chain to maintain short delivery times.
- Accesses created to support in perfect conditions and safely the constant passage of goods and the machinery that loads them.
- Protections to prevent accidents in a space where vehicles regularly pass through and move with agility.
Energy efficiency in logistics company facilities.
Not all logistics companies have the same needs in terms of the indoor temperature of storage spaces, depending on the type of materials stored.
In many cases, the goods have strict storage temperature requirements in order to be kept in perfect conditions. External weather conditions must not affect the safety and quality of the stored products. This is the case of precision machinery, food logistics and pharmaceutical logistics, among others, which need to be kept within very rigid temperature ranges.
In these cases, the installation of prefabricated modular industrial buildings requires excellent thermal insulation and enclosure materials that allow the right temperature to be maintained at the lowest possible cost for heating or cooling the interior space.
Another point to take into account is that with logistics 4.0, the use of the most innovative robotics implies the use of modern precision machinery in constant operation. For better operation and to prevent breakdowns, it is advisable to maintain an interior temperature that helps to avoid overheating.
Not forgetting humidity and other conditions. Prefabricated modular buildings provide the watertight conditions required for the storage of certain types of goods.
