Discovery

FloStor Systems Sales Engineers review your current processes in light of productivity goals, forecasted demand, product development, and capital budget. This collaborative evaluation generates the concept and design criteria for incremental system improvements or a comprehensive new system.

Design Engineering

With over 80 years of combined experience in material flow, storage systems, and robotics, our Design Engineers work in conjunction with System Sales Engineers and your managers to transform the concept to working drawings. The Design Engineering Department uses contemporary technology, including reality capture, AutoCAD and specialized materials handling drafting software. Cloud-based file sharing and electronic drawing mark-up enhance collaboration and expedite the design process. All systems are designed to the strict structural and seismic requirements of the 2010 IBC/CBC.

Fabrication

FloStor maintains a complete metals and machine Fabrication Center staffed with millwright professionals. Critical components of your system are erected and tested prior to installation to insure there are no surprises and delays at your site, on your time. When the best solution to fulfill your requirements has not been invented, FloStor builds it.

Installation

Our skilled and specialized Project Managers work in collaboration with your managers to insure systems are completed on time and without disruption. The Project Managers oversee a crew of millwright professionals with a longstanding association with FloStor. The comprehensive Zero Injuries safety program implemented by FloStor is designed to meet the specific requirements for the installation of materials handling systems, and has achieved awards for working free of accident and injury.

Training

Your key operations managers and facilities personnel are provided comprehensive training in the operation and maintenance of the system and in safe operating practices. FloStor furnishes documentation unique to your system, including an overall systems operations manual, maintenance manuals for all major mechanical components, and comprehensive software documentation.

Preventative Maintenance & 911

FloStor systems are over-engineered for trouble-free operation in harsh and demanding industrial conditions. The optional Preventative Maintenance Program is available to ensure continued operations. Scheduled maintenance is performed by our specialized staff. In addition, our mechanical, electrical, and software specialists are available 24/7 to address emergencies.

FloStor was flexible and accommodating during the development of the software interface. They handled any changes and without additional costs.

You were instrumental in designing and implementing all of our warehouse automation projects. You brought a level of professionalism and skill that we sorely lacked and you helped us through very challenging times.

Alan GompertsControlleradidas/Agron

We're now seeing throughput levels that are 30 to 35 percent greater than what we had before the system was installed.

Matt EmersonFacilities EngineerCooper B-Line

Since the system was installed we have never been late to the assembly floor. Not once.

Joe FallWarehouse ManagerSiemens Transportation Systems

We are now moving boxes consistently at a rate of 13 per minute, and our daily capacity has increased from $1M to $5M.

Steve JohnsonVP-Chief Information OfficerByer California

The system was implemented on time, on budget without one hitch. A lot of credit goes to John Fisher of FloStor who helped us design and implement the system.

Walt BlumIlluminations

The people at FloStor are really good problem solvers, and were key for us having a successful model launch. FloStor continues to make modifications until the system works the way we need it to under actual conditions. I would definitely give FloStor a lot of credit for sticking with it, and for a level of communication above and beyond what most companies would consider normal. I would sum them up as creative, flexible. And persistent.

After a lengthy selection process, our Engineering Group selected FloStor based on their design concept and their ability to do the job. FloStor exceeded our expectations. Customer complaints about mis-shipments have dropped dramatically since the system was installed.
