What We Offer
One Team for the Whole Warehouse Project
A warehouse project is more than the equipment that goes into it. Layouts have to be drawn, permits secured, old systems removed and new ones installed without stalling the operation. Metallum Automation brings that work together with one team, so your storage and automation systems go in safely, on plan and ready to run.
Systems Integration & Optimization
Layouts that account for how goods actually move, with options ranging from improved manual operations to semi-automated and fully automated systems.
Permitting & Compliance Support
Help preparing for the permits and code reviews a storage project can require, built around a layout that makes good use of your space.
Why Metallum
Fewer Handoffs. Fewer Surprises.
We plan each project around your facility and your operating schedule, not just the equipment list.
Single Point of Contact
One team stays with the project from the first drawing through installation, instead of a chain of separate contractors.
Planned Around Uptime
Tear-down, installation and moves are sequenced with your operation in mind to limit disruption on the floor.
Compliance from the Start
Fire code, high-pile and local requirements are considered during layout, when changes are easiest to make.
Ready for Automation
Layouts leave room to grow, so conveyors, AGVs, shuttles or AS/RS can be added when your volumes call for them.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about your project? Our team is happy to talk it through.
01What is high-pile storage?
High-pile storage generally means combustible goods stored above about 12 feet, or lower for some high-hazard goods. The exact rules depend on your local fire code, so requirements are confirmed for each site.
02Can you remove our old racking?
Yes. Tear-down and removal can be scoped on its own or as the first stage of a new installation.
03How long does permitting take?
It depends on your location, the scope of the work and the reviewing authorities. We can talk through what to expect once the project scope and site are known.
04Why start with a CAD layout?
A scaled layout shows capacity, aisle access and material flow before you commit to equipment, and it gives everyone involved in the project the same plan to work from.
