Are you confident that the pallet racks in your warehouse are safe and compliant?
Pallet racks in a warehouse can be risky if not installed or maintained correctly, as they may collapse and cause injuries. But even well-maintained pallet racks can be damaged by workers or equipment.
Employers are responsible for inspecting and maintaining pallet racks to ensure safety.
- How do you keep track of the condition of dozens or even hundreds of pallet rack systems without possibly overlooking some?
- And what about if you are managing more than one warehouse?
- How do you keep track of all these documents if you write down everything on paper or in an Excel file?
Fortunately, warehouse operators can enhance efficiency and safety in their operations by using rack inspection management software. This digital tool enables quick data capture, centralized access, and information sharing.
Transforming Pallet Rack Safety and Compliance
In this article, we’ll dive into the benefits of the Damotech Platform, the only software available to inspect, maintain, and manage pallet racks. You’ll discover how this powerful solution can help you streamline warehouse management, capture crucial data, and enhance the safety of your employees and assets.
1 - Managing the condition of your pallet rack systems
Following an inspection by one of our experts, the detailed report is integrated into our Platform. The software displays data for each location where our engineers have reported damages. You can view the photos of the anomalies taken during the inspection, reported failures, and missing components. You can also sort them by their severity level and component type.
Our rack maintenance software offers a floor and elevation view of your warehouse configuration, illustrating all data recorded for each location. You can view the damages to your warehouse pallet systems, all inspection reports, reported failures, overload risks, load application and rack configuration drawings (also called LARCs). The interface allows you to zoom in and out to visualize better where damaged pallet systems are located, view the severity of the failures, and plan maintenance operations.
Since the dashboard displays real-time statistics about your pallet systems, you can also use the Platform periodically to monitor damage reported by your maintenance personnel. You can track their progress online as soon as problems are reported. The digital tool provides an overview of the racking system’s state, comparing new and repaired issues. In an instant, follow and measure the progress of repairs toward a safer warehouse.
Rack load calculations are another essential aspect of our software. The software includes a color-coded heatmap that captures varying load capacities for each pallet location in both plan and elevation views, allowing you to proactively identify rack overloading risks and interact with other views, such as rack elevation plans. It can help you review load capacity by pallet position, proactively identify load capacity anomalies, capture load variations, and visually confirm system configurations. Racking system specifications, such as upright height, beam dimensions, and beam ratings, are also displayed for easy reference.

2- Collect data in real time, offline
No Internet? No problem!
Many warehouses do not have internet connectivity throughout the facility, which can pose a problem when using a web tool to conduct rack safety surveys and inspections. However, with our mobile app, you can walk your facility with a smartphone or tablet, survey rack deficiencies and identify safety issues offline and take photos of the racks’ anomalies so they can be tracked and prioritized.
The application includes an offline mode, allowing you to store warehouse and deficiency data on your device and add or update all rack issues in real time from virtually anywhere. You can sync your data directly to the Platform’s cloud storage once an internet connection is available for easy access and sharing. With this feature, warehouse operators can ensure the safety and efficiency of their operations, even in facilities without the internet.
Our mobile app gives you all the intuitive features of the Damotech Platform to help conduct your warehouse assessments. You can quickly generate rack safety audits and inspections while walking your warehouses, prioritize risk, implement tasks, and track progress. It enables warehouse operators to stay on top of potential hazards and address them quickly, even when they are away from the warehouse.
3- Manage multiple locations across the country
Managing racking systems across multiple facilities in several states—or even nationwide—can be daunting.
- How do you monitor anomalies across dozens or hundreds of warehouses?
- How does a company maintain its corporate safety standards and ensure all its facilities comply?
With Damotech’s rack inspection management software, operators can stay updated with multi-warehouse environments and no longer need to travel to each location when there are deficiencies.
They can remotely monitor the state of their racking systems in real time across all their warehouses so that they can share information with their teams. They can also track the status of each issue reported directly on the Platform, with photos and priority levels, without ever leaving headquarters.
