Organized warehouses are better equipped for high productivity, efficiency, and safety.
There is a lot going on day-to-day on the factory floor. It’s easy to let things get unruly in the warehouse between designing, manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. With all the other components of running a business, keeping your physical space organized seems low on the list.
We at NRTC Automation encourage you to think otherwise. With a clean and organized warehouse, you can make a profit while continuing to build your business.

Why You Should Clear Out Your Warehouse
Clearing out a warehouse and decluttering your factory can be intimidating. When you have a lot of equipment, clutter, and paper files, it can be hard to know where to start.
However, taking the time to make space is essential to the profitability well-being of your company. Wasted space on the factory floor can limit your earning potential and make it difficult to discern what should be purchased or repaired.
Plus, a cluttered warehouse can be a safety concern. Disorganized factory floors may create tripping hazards or other dangerous situations that leave your employees at risk. By cleaning up the clutter, you can create a safe environment so that workers can focus on the task at hand.
Now that you know why you should clear out your warehouse, read about how decluttering will end up profiting your company!
7 Ways You’ll Profit by Decluttering Your Warehouse
Decluttering can do more than give you more room; it can bring it some big profits for you, too.
1. More Space
With more space in your warehouse, you can maximize productivity by utilizing the space to design and build more products and store items in a more space-efficient way. If you declutter so much that you determine you can size down to another smaller facility or add another operation to your current space, then you can generate revenue by saving on rental and utility fees or by increasing your production rate.
One way to do this is by storing equipment in another facility until you need it. NRTC Automation offers Industrial Tool & Fixture Storage solutions so you can open up valuable space in your warehouse and focus on what’s most important. Learn more about our storage solutions here!
2. Better Handled Equipment
When equipment has a designated space and isn’t surrounded by clutter, it will be handled with care. This can prevent damage to your equipment which may require costly repairs or even replacement.
Already have some damage? No worries! NRTC Automation can restore your equipment to like-new conditions with our Industrial Refurbishing Services.
3. Less Unnecessary Purchases
When you have less clutter, you can clearly see what you need to add or remove from your production line. This means you won’t make any unnecessary purchases when you may already have the equipment that you need.
If you find that you do need equipment, visit our sister company, iGAM, to find inspected, tested, and refurbished industrial robots and manufacturing equipment backed by a 20-Month Warranty Coverage.
4. Safety
Safety should always be your priority in manufacturing. Protecting your employees will give them the confidence to do their work without fear of injury or worse. By clearing out your warehouse, you remove potential tripping hazards and dangerous equipment from walking zones. Not only do you save money from eliminating injury hazards, but you increase profit by improving worker productivity.
5. Improved Company Morale
Studies show that a clean workspace boosts company morale. Employees can take pride in their work because their environment reflects that their employer cares about them and their safety. Plus, a clean warehouse is less distracting and more motivating to work in. Happy employees bring in more profit because they care about their jobs, which boosts your revenue.
6. Improved Work Speed
It’s a no-brainer that a messy space is harder to navigate. If your workers are looking for something specific, it would take them longer to find it than if every piece of equipment had a specific place and a label. When employees can find what they need in a short amount of time, they can return to working on what matters and increase profitability.
7. Fewer Errors
Finally, a decluttered warehouse will result in fewer human errors. If you have mismanaged equipment with no labels, then the likelihood that an employee will use equipment incorrectly increases. Having a neat factory floor ensures that your workers know exactly what they need and how to use it, preventing costly errors that could drive your profit down.
