Key features of Automated Warehouses

Automated warehouses provide a reliable, efficient solution adapted to the requirements of each automated system. Discover the main features:

Integration solutions provider

AR Racking, an expert provider of integration solutions for automated warehouses, designs and manufactures the steel structures that underpin automated facilities. We work alongside integrators to ensure a perfect fit with rack-supported buildings, automatic systems, satellite, or miniload solutions, among others.

Custom design

We tailor every steel structure to the specific needs of the automated warehouse. This includes bespoke technical design that considers the type of automated system, building dimensions, stored loads, operating environment (e.g., temperature-controlled), and the customer’s logistics requirements. Our engineering team collaborates closely with the integrator to guarantee structural, functional, and safety compatibility.

High storage density

Automation enables maximum use of warehouse volume in both height and depth, storing more in less surface area. With project-specific structures, you can increase capacity while reducing building footprint—boosting logistics capability without expanding floor space.

Speed and operational efficiency

Automated systems accelerate every logistics phase, drastically reducing inbound, outbound, and order-prep times. In combination with optimized structures, unnecessary movements are minimized and performance per square meter is maximized.

Full traceability

Integration with a WMS enables real-time control of the location, status, and movements of each load unit—improving planning, cutting errors, and increasing reliability and transparency across the supply chain.

Adaptability

AR Racking structures for automated warehouses are prepared for demanding conditions such as cold stores, high humidity, dusty environments, and more. We use specific materials and coatings to ensure durability, resistance, and optimal operation even in the most challenging scenarios.

Safety

By reducing direct staff intervention in loading/unloading zones, automated warehouses significantly lower the risk of workplace accidents. Structures are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards, protecting both people and goods.

Certified quality

Our structures undergo rigorous testing and validation in our R&D Lab in collaboration with Mondragon University. Each solution meets the highest quality standards, and we offer a 5-year warranty as a mark of confidence in durability, strength, and reliability.

Standards for Automated Warehouses

The safety and quality of automated warehouses are backed by compliance with strict international standards. At AR Racking we design and manufacture the structures that ensure strength, reliability, and protection for people and goods. Key standards include:

ISO 45001

Occupational Health & Safety Management

ISO 9001

Quality Management System

ISO 14001

Environmental Management System

ISO 50001

Energy Management System

UNE EN ISO 3834-2

Quality and control of welding processes for metallic materials

EN 1090-1

Authorizes CE marking for rack-supported buildings assembled in the EU

ISO 14064

Measurement, control, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Technology and innovation in Automated Warehousing

Our structures for automated warehouses are designed on a foundation of advanced engineering and continuous innovation. With our in-house Technology Center, we develop efficient, robust solutions using simulations and structural calculations specific to automated environments.

We also collaborate with leading universities—such as the University of the Basque Country (AR Racking Classroom) and Mondragon Unibertsitatea (AR Lab for structural analysis)—to transfer academic knowledge directly into better-performing, more reliable, and more adaptable solutions.

Automated production for Automated Racking Structures

We design and manufacture steel structures for automated systems across sectors and load types. Our racking is prepared to integrate perfectly with automation, optimizing space, improving logistics operations, and ensuring safety in high-throughput environments. By combining advanced engineering, automated manufacturing technology, and deep industrial know-how, we deliver efficient, scalable, and durable structural solutions, adapted to the technical requirements of each automated system and the end customer’s needs.

Our production plant—over 35,000 m², equipped with cutting-edge technology and robotic processes—ensures precision, consistent quality, and competitive lead times. With a clear focus on structural automation and strict quality control, AR Racking is the trusted partner for automated warehouses that require a solid, safe, and reliable structural foundation.
