Pallet Rack Systems Integrators

Systems integrators design and build complete warehouse systems — not just rack, but conveyors, sortation, pick modules, AS/RS, WMS integration, and everything in between. If your project involves automation or complex material flow, a systems integrator is who pulls it all together.

What Does a Systems Integrator Do?

Systems integrators engineer complete distribution and fulfillment solutions. They start with your operational requirements (throughput, SKU profile, order patterns) and design a system that may include pallet rack, conveyors, pick modules, automated storage, robotics, and software. They manage the project from concept through commissioning. The big ones (Dematic, Honeywell Intelligrated, Bastian Solutions, FORTNA) handle projects from $1M to $100M+.

When to Contact a Systems Integrator

  • Your project involves automation (AS/RS, conveyors, robotics, pick-to-light)
  • You need a complete warehouse design — not just rack, but the entire material flow
  • You're building a new distribution center from scratch and want a turnkey solution
  • Your throughput requirements have outgrown what manual operations can handle
  • You need WMS/WCS integration as part of the project

What to Look For

  • Experience in your specific industry (e-commerce, food, pharma, manufacturing)
  • References from projects of similar scale and complexity
  • In-house engineering team (mechanical, electrical, controls, software)
  • Financial stability — these are long projects with big deposits
  • Post-installation support and maintenance capabilities
  • Willingness to start with a thorough operational analysis before proposing a solution

How Pricing Works

Systems integrator projects range from $500K for a small pick module to $50M+ for a fully automated distribution center. Pricing is typically project-based after a detailed engineering study. Many integrators charge for the upfront engineering/design phase ($20K-$100K+), which is applied to the project if you proceed. Expect 12-24 month timelines from concept to go-live for large projects. ROI analysis is standard — reputable integrators will show you the payback math before asking you to commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a project need a systems integrator vs. just a rack supplier?
If your project is rack-only (selective, drive-in, cantilever, etc.) and involves manual forklift operations, a supplier handles it fine. Once you add conveyors, automated storage, pick modules, or WMS integration, you need a systems integrator. The dividing line is complexity — if multiple subsystems need to work together, someone needs to engineer the whole thing.
How much does a systems integration project cost?
Wildly variable. A pick module with carton flow and conveyor might cost $500K-$2M. A full AS/RS installation runs $5M-$50M+. The cost depends on throughput, automation level, building constraints, and timeline. Any integrator who quotes you without a detailed analysis of your operation isn't being honest — or isn't very good.
How long does a systems integration project take?
From initial concept to fully operational: 12-24 months for a typical automated project. The first 3-6 months are engineering and design. Equipment manufacturing and procurement take 4-8 months. Installation and commissioning take 3-6 months. Simple projects (pick modules, small conveyor systems) can move faster — 6-9 months total.
Do systems integrators manufacture their own rack?
Some do (Mecalux, for example, is both a rack manufacturer and a systems integrator). Most source rack from established manufacturers and focus their value-add on system design, automation, controls, and software integration. Whether they make the rack or buy it is less important than whether the complete system works.
