SpeedCell dynamic [high-density storage](https://www.unex.com/solutions/high-density-storage) solutions significantly increase storage density across a range of industries, offering a flexible and efficient picking solution. Industries that benefit include:
- **Warehousing and Order Fulfillment:** SpeedCell is ideal for [each picking](https://www.unex.com/applications/picking/order-picking) (split-case picking) operations, compressing 200' of rack into 40' of highly organized space. Improve storage density by 40-60% and cut labor costs significantly.
- **Retail:** Both brick-and-mortar and eCommerce operations can optimize backrooms and distribution centers with SpeedCell high-density storage. Specialty [retailers](https://www.unex.com/industries/retail) like automotive, cannabis, CPG, cosmetics, electronics, hardware, and pharmaceuticals can maximize SKU accessibility and space.
- **Omnichannel Fulfillment:** As eCommerce and [omnichannel fulfillment](https://www.unex.com/industries/order-fulfillment-warehousing) grow, high-density storage solutions like SpeedCell add thousands of SKU locations without expanding warehouse footprints, boosting efficiency by 20-30% and increasing pick locations by 150%.
## How SpeedCell Optimizes Warehouse and Fulfillment Operations
SpeedCell dynamic [high-density storage](https://blog.unex.com/what-is-high-density-storage) systems are built to maximize space, streamline workflows, and boost picking accuracy. By turning static rack space into flexible, high-capacity storage, SpeedCell helps facilities store more SKUs, cut wasted motion, and improve order fulfillment efficiency. Key areas of impact include:
- **Maximized Space Utilization:** SpeedCell can [increase storage density](https://blog.unex.com/4-benefits-of-implementing-high-density-storage-solutions) by 40-60%, transforming dead and unusable space into fully utilized and profitable areas. It can compress 200' of rack or shelving into 40' of highly organized space.
- **Enhanced Picking Efficiency:** By dramatically improving pick facings and providing easy access to every SKU, [SpeedCell](https://blog.unex.com/meet-speedcell-dynamic-high-density-storage) can reduce labor costs by up to 40%. The system's design allows workers to slide columns side-to-side, minimizing the time spent searching for items.
- **Improved Inventory Organization:** Each cell in the SpeedCell system has a unique location label holder, increasing inventory visibility and [pick accuracy](https://blog.unex.com/dynamic-high-density-storage-and-the-speedcell-advantage). This organization system is compatible with pick-to-light, RFID, and scanner technologies.
- **Ergonomic Design:** The structure of SpeedCell reduces the need for deep bending, stretching, or step stools, [improving workplace ergonomics](https://blog.unex.com/meet-speedcell-dynamic-high-density-storage) and reducing the risk of injury. This design contributes to a safer and more comfortable working environment for warehouse staff.

## SpeedCell FAQs
#### How much does a SpeedCell high-density storage system cost?
SpeedCell costs the same or less per SKU stored compared to static shelving. Pricing varies depending on your space and requirements for your specific application. The best and fastest way to obtain pricing is to use our [SpeedCell product configurator](https://speedcell.unex.com/). We will send your design straight to your inbox and one of our product specialists can work with you to refine the solution to meet your unique needs.
#### What is the most commonly used cell size?
There is no one-size-fits all approach when it comes to SKU storage, but after analyzing millions of SKUs, our Sales and Engineering teams have determined that 12” x 12” (Medium) SpeedCell columns are the most commonly ordered size.
#### What is the weight capacity for SpeedCell columns and individual cells?
Each SpeedCell capacity is rated at 240 lb. per column and 35 lb. per each cell.
#### Can SpeedCell be customized for my products?
Yes, SpeedCell can be customized for orders over 50 columns. We can tailor the size, shape, and mobility of each SpeedCell column to solve your exact storage challenges. There are some limitations on sizes: 6″ is our minimum width, and 24″ is our maximum width. We offer 2 standard colors of White and Grey. If you have a special color for your facilities, we will gladly order fabric in colors dyed to your specifications at an increased cost and lead time to allow for purchasing materials.
#### Does SpeedCell require any maintenance?
No. SpeedCell units are easily cleaned with plain water. For stubborn stains such as pen marks, Goo Gone works wonders. As a bonus, our standard white material is Electric Static Resistant, Flame Resistant, and fully complies with the California fire code. SpeedCell Columns are also easy to install and remove from the tracks, even once your bay is installed. No special tools are needed.
#### Can I use SpeedCell in freezers and climate-controlled areas?
Yes, SpeedCell is mold-resistant and operates in temperatures of -20°to 180°F (-29°to 82° C).
#### Can I use Pick-to-Light, RFID, or scanners with SpeedCell?
Yes, pick-to-light, RFID, and scanners are all compatible with UNEX SpeedCell.
#### Do I have to buy special racks for SpeedCell?
Nope! Special racks are not required for UNEX SpeedCell. If you have existing pallet racking, you are ready to install SpeedCell. SpeedCell can be suspended within the selective rack or wide-span rack systems and fits any type of beam, box, structural, or step, as well as pick modules and mezzanines. If you do not already have racking or would like to purchase new racking, we offer SpeedCell Ready Bay which comes with SpeedCell columns in your choice of size, a fully assembled SpeedCell steel set suspension system, UNEX-supplied racking, and wire deck for extra storage space above your SpeedCell bay.
#### How do I access the back row on a SpeedCell unit?
SpeedCell columns slide from side-to-side, and each row of SpeedCell has one less column, easily allowing pickers to access the back rows.
