Maximize Productivity, Profitability and Adaptability
Whether you’re looking to optimize a brownfield or greenfield facility, the best material handling systems start with a well-designed floor plan. Without this, factories and distribution centers can face inefficiencies related to material flow, inventory management and labor utilization. Bastian Solutions consultants design efficient systems by utilizing the latest simulation software and data tools. We can evaluate multiple material handling options to show you how your facility will operate with automation changes, demonstrate process flows and highlight operator interfaces.
Utilizing consultants ensures that layouts are built with scalability and flexibility in mind, allowing operations to adapt to expansions or adjustments by reducing waste and optimizing facility flow. Our experts provide guidance throughout the entirety of the project, resulting in on-time delivery and accurate ROI.
