Next, we have warehouse and distribution centers, crucial for the supply chain. These buildings are designed for the storage and movement of goods. Warehouses can be classified into various types, including bulk warehouses, climate-controlled warehouses, and specialized warehouses for perishable products. Bulk warehouses are usually vast open spaces used for storing large quantities of goods, often with a focus on efficiency and speed in logistics operations. Climate-controlled warehouses, as the name suggests, maintain specific temperature and humidity levels to protect sensitive products like pharmaceuticals, food, and electronics. Moreover, specialized warehouses cater to unique industry needs, such as automotive parts or textiles, ensuring that specific storage conditions are met.
