Receiving & Shipping Material Flow
Receiving and shipping set the pace at the ends of the building. When either backs up, product waits and trailers wait with it.

About Receiving & Shipping Material Flow
Receiving and shipping material flow is the movement of product in and out of the facility across conveyor, handling and controls. This application spans the receiving and shipping ends of the operation, tied to dock flow and storage.
- Receiving or shipping backups
- Bottlenecks between the dock and storage
- New equipment to integrate at either end
Start With the Constraint
The issue may be staging, conveyor flow, pallet movement, dock layout, controls or the equipment connecting receiving and shipping to the rest of the building. The first step is identifying what is actually limiting flow.
Turn Findings Into a Project
Once the bottleneck is clear, Steel Square can carry the work into equipment sourcing, controls, fabrication, integration, installation and startup where the solution requires it.
