Automation-Ready Warehouse Design & Cold Chain Engineering

Automation-Ready Warehouse Design & Cold Chain Engineering

Service Overview

Modern logistics facilities must be designed around their automation systems not the other way around. ASRS installations require specific floor flatness, defined-tolerance column spacing, and precise rack foundation anchor patterns, while cold storage demands continuous vapor barriers. Desapex designs logistics facilities as fully integrated automation-building systems.

Our Digital-First Approach

Integrate Systems in BIM

Our BIM models integrate building structure, automation equipment, material handling systems, and MEP services in a single coordinated environment.

Coordinate Automation

Rack column foundations, conveyor supports, and AMR charging stations are modeled as part of the building design, preventing clearance and utility conflicts.

Core Deliverables

  • High-bay warehouse structural design optimized for ASRS loading.

  • Cold storage design including insulated metal panel (IMP) systems and floor anti-heave heating.

  • Floor design with FM1/FM2/FM3 flatness specifications and defined movement (DM) slab tolerancing.

  • Conveyor and sortation system integration with structural support and electrical distribution.

Why Choose Desapex

The cost of retrofitting a warehouse for automation after construction is 3-5x the cost of designing for automation from the start. Desapex’s integrated approach ensures that structural loading, floor tolerances, and utility provisions are automation-compatible from day one.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our USP is that we design the building and the automation environment as one system. The BIM model shows not just the building shell but the rack footprints, conveyor routes, and AMR pathways, ensuring every structural and MEP decision supports the operational configuration.
