Most storage equipment is limited to manual items, but engineered systems can group them together. This equipment is used to buffer or hold materials during "downtimes", which are times when they aren't being transported. These periods could include temporary pauses for long-term transportation, or long-term storage meant to allow stock building. Storage equipment consists of shelves, pallets or racks where materials can be placed in an orderly way to ensure they are ready for transport or consumption. Many companies have designed proprietary packaging that helps products and materials conserve space while being stored in inventory.
