Automated Warehouse System Installation Services

Automated Warehouse System Installation Services for Complex, Large-Scale Projects

Automation delivers lower labor costs, faster throughput, and fewer errors only when the installation is executed correctly. Distribution X (DX) has completed automated system installations from 50,000 sq. ft. food manufacturing facilities to 1.5-million sq. ft. distribution centers with 150,000 pallet positions, coordinating with OEMs and executing in live environments where operational disruption is not an option.

What DX brings to every automated system installation:

  • Checkpoint-based structural verification: Crane aisle alignment, rail tolerances, and rack plumb are confirmed at defined stages throughout the build. By the time the OEM commissioning team arrives, the structure is ready and there are no surprises.
  • Crew depth matched to your timeline: Labor shortfalls are among the most common reasons automated system projects miss go-live dates. We mobilize the right number of qualified installers for your project scope, wherever your facility is located.
  • Dedicated on-site safety management: Every project has a safety manager physically on the floor throughout the installation. Every project is OSHA compliant. On a high-bay build, a safety incident does not just put workers at risk. It stops your project.
  • Direct OEM coordination: We work with your equipment vendor throughout every phase, aligning on sequencing, installation drawings, and commissioning prep so there is no gap between what we build and what the system requires to go live.
  • One-year workmanship warranty: Every installation is backed by our workmanship warranty, plus full pass-through of manufacturer warranties on all materials and equipment.

Automated Warehouse Storage Systems DX Installs

DX has field experience across the full range of automated warehouse systems. Not classroom familiarity, but actual project hours executing these systems at scale, in demanding environments, under real deadlines. Below are some of the automated systems our crews install.

Find Out Which Automated System Your Building and Budget Can Actually Support

No automated system performs at specification in a building that was not verified to support it. Clear height, floor load, column spacing, and fire suppression all determine what is viable before a system is specified. Distribution X installs all major automated system types and will tell you honestly which one fits your operation before you commit to anything.

How DX Delivered a 120-Foot ASRS Rack-Supported Building in Tulsa, Oklahoma

The Project: A distribution operation in Tulsa, OK needed a rack-supported ASRS building installed with 11,000 pallet positions at 120 feet tall.

The Challenge: At that height, structural tolerances in the base frame do not stay local. They compound. A base that is out of plumb by a fraction of an inch produces crane travel deviations, misaligned load handling units, and commissioning failures that are extremely costly to correct after the structure is fully built. The project required a crew with the experience to get the structural work right at every phase, not just at the top.

What DX Did: Our team coordinated the full installation from ground-up steel work through final system integration. We built alignment verification into every phase of the project, catching and correcting any deviations before the next level of the build began. The result was a 120-foot structure delivered to the tolerances the automation required, with a commissioning process that was not derailed by installation errors.

The Outcome: 11,000 pallet positions in a fully operational rack-supported ASRS facility, built to spec and ready to perform from go-live.

This is one project. Our portfolio spans AS/RS installations, mini load systems, pallet shuttle builds, and wire guidance environments across the country.

Frequently Asked Questions About Warehouse Automation System Installations

We work directly with your OEM throughout the project, reviewing installation drawings, aligning on sequencing and staging, and making sure every phase of the build is ready for what comes next. The goal is that when the OEM commissioning team arrives, the structure is built to their specifications and there are no delays caused by installation issues. We treat OEM coordination as part of the job, not an afterthought. See what to expect from a DX installation.

The most common issues we see are crane aisle alignment that is off-tolerance, rail runs that are not level across the full system, and base frames that were not verified at early stages before the build continued upward. These problems are not visible to the eye and are expensive to correct after the fact. We address them by building alignment checkpoints into every phase of the installation rather than verifying tolerances only at completion. Learn how installation mistakes compound into costly problems.

Yes. We have executed installations in active distribution centers where portions of the facility remained operational throughout the project. It requires detailed sequencing and crew coordination built into the project plan from day one. We map the full installation sequence around your operational constraints before the first piece of steel goes up. Read how DX manages downtime during ASRS installations.

We are a nationwide contractor with the crew depth to mobilize wherever your facility is located. Our completed projects span Virginia, Oklahoma, Maryland, Colorado, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, and beyond. We do not subcontract to unfamiliar local crews. DX crews travel to the project. View our completed project portfolio.

Timeline depends on system type and project scale. A vertical lift module installation can be completed in days. A high-bay AS/RS rack-supported building at 11,000-plus pallet positions is a multi-month project. We establish realistic timelines during the scoping phase and build our project plan around your go-live date because missing that date has direct operational and financial consequences. See what to prepare for before your installation begins.

Yes. If your project requires removing an existing automated system, conveyor infrastructure, or racking before the new installation begins, DX manages that work as well. We can run the full sequence: teardown, decommission, and new system installation, so you are not coordinating multiple contractors through a critical project transition.
