Before investing in expansion or relocation, we help you understand the true capacity of your existing facility. UMH evaluates storage utilization, structural constraints, rack conditions, and operational workflows to determine how much life—and growth—you can realistically extract from your current space.
Result: Data-backed decisions on whether to optimize, retrofit, automate, or expand.
For operations considering automation such as pallet shuttle systems or AS/RS solutions, UMH develops Proof of Concept models to validate performance before full deployment. We simulate throughput, storage density, and workflow integration to reduce risk and ensure the solution meets operational expectations.
Result: Confidence in system performance, ROI, and scalability prior to capital investment.
Selecting the right technology partner is critical to project success. UMH provides unbiased guidance in evaluating equipment manufacturers, integrators, and automation providers based on application fit, lifecycle cost, and implementation requirements.
Result: The right solution from the right partner—aligned with your operation, not just the latest technology.
