A practical definition
Intralogistics is everything that happens between receiving and dispatch.
It connects where materials arrive, how they are stored, which equipment moves them, how often they are handled, how they reach production or picking, and how they leave the facility.
Shrusti starts with the operation rather than a predetermined product. The objective is to reduce avoidable travel and handling, use available space more effectively, improve safety at transfer points and select equipment that fits the actual duty.

What we study
A useful recommendation starts with the right operating inputs.

Frequently asked questions
Planning an intralogistics study?
Answers to the practical questions that usually come before a site review or proposal.
Ask a specific questionWhat is intralogistics?
Intralogistics is the planning and coordination of material movement, storage, loading, lifting and handling inside an industrial facility. Shrusti connects these activities into one practical operating plan rather than treating each product as an isolated purchase.
When should we conduct an intralogistics study?
A study is useful when storage is congested, travel routes are long, handling steps are repeated, loading is slow, safety interfaces need improvement, equipment selection is unclear, or a facility is being built, expanded or reorganized.
What information is needed to begin?
Useful starting inputs include a facility layout, material or SKU profile, pallet and load dimensions, maximum weights, storage quantities, movement frequency, operating shifts, clear heights, dock or yard information and current equipment. The study can begin with partial information and identify what else is needed.
Can Shrusti improve an existing operating facility?
Yes. Brownfield work can be planned around existing structures, access routes, installed equipment and operating windows. Recommendations can be phased so that the most practical improvements are implemented first.
How does Shrusti choose between manual and powered equipment?
The decision considers load, travel distance, lift height, handling frequency, aisle width, floor condition, operator effort and shift pattern. A manual product may be the right choice for occasional work, while powered equipment is more suitable when repeated movement or travel drives fatigue and cycle time.
How are racking and storage systems selected?
Selection is based on inventory profile, pallet or item dimensions, load, stock quantity, turnover, access frequency, rotation method, clear height, aisle needs and material-handling equipment. The goal is to balance density with practical access.
Does Shrusti provide the equipment after the study?
Yes. The study can continue into standard equipment supply, engineered systems, racking, installation, commissioning and lifecycle support. The exact execution scope is defined in the proposal.
Can I upload a layout, drawing or photographs?
Yes. Uploading a facility layout, tender document, load photograph or image of current equipment helps the team prepare a more specific initial discussion.
How long does an intralogistics study take?
The duration depends on facility size, data availability and whether the scope covers one operating area or the complete site. The study plan and expected deliverables are confirmed after the initial discussion.
Is AMC and ongoing support available?
Yes. Shrusti supports installed equipment and systems through AMC, preventive maintenance, spares, operator guidance and future expansion or upgrade reviews, subject to the agreed service scope and location.
