Warehouses are an integral part of the supply chain industry. They offer a wide range of services to different industries that are crucial for the growth of the economy and the development of the country. The primary goal of the warehouse is to help companies provide services of the highest standard. With quality control, warehouses have drastically reduced delivery times and increased efficiency with profit margins. Changing market trends, the introduction of new online ventures and government initiatives have changed the landscape of the warehouse and supply chain industry for the better. The roles played by these warehouses have evolved and are an integral part of a successful supply chain. Warehouses are crucial to the survival of key sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, trade, etc. With an increasingly globalized economy, we are rapidly moving towards a future where high-tech operational warehouses will enable suppliers to establish their operations overseas, offering virtually unlimited scope for expansion. In this paper, we will briefly focus on the importance and role that warehouses represent, the level of equipment, and their planning and design supported by a practical example.
