Ugly Goods in Small-Parts Warehousing: How Items Without Containers Can Be Stored Automatically – Live with advasolutions

What's it about? 

Most automated small-parts warehouses are designed for standardised containers or trays. This works very well for the majority of product ranges. But what happens with items that can't be neatly packaged? Unpackaged goods, irregular shapes, oversized items – in short: Ugly Goods – frequently end up in manual processes because no automated Solution can handle them reliably. advasolutions uses real-world cases in this Webinar to show how carrier-free storage works in practice and when it makes sense to consider it as a complement to an existing system.

This Webinar is part of the series "Storing Small Parts Efficiently". 

Further events in this series:

• Small, Grown, Large: How AutoStore Systems Are Planned for Different Requirements – Live with AutoStore (Tuesday, 19 May 2026): AutoStore brings three real cases and shows how very different systems emerge from specific requirements – from a compact entry-level setup to a large-scale installation. Plus: one case will be developed live on the spot.
• Shuttle Warehouse Planned Live: When It's Worth It and How Requirements Become a Concrete Layout – Live with RocketSolution(Wednesday, 20 May 2026): RocketSolution plans a shuttle warehouse live based on real key figures – from requirements through to the finished layout, including a budget framework.

Why you should attend

• you have items in your product range that can't be neatly packed into standard containers
• you want to know whether such goods can be stored in an automated way at all
• you already operate an automated small-parts warehouse and want to know what options exist for the rest of your product range
• you want to understand when a container-free Solution makes sense as a complement to an existing system

What you'll take away from the talk

• exactly what Ugly Goods are and why conventional systems reach their limits here
• how carrier-free storage works technically and what that means in practice
• when it makes sense to extend an existing system with a container-free Solution
• what this looks like in concrete terms based on a real case
