pros:
Improve warehousing efficiency and high space utilization: Silos can effectively use vertical space, save floor space, make warehousing more compact, and improve storage capacity and efficiency.
Protecting goods: Silos can effectively protect goods from external environmental influences, such as moisture, sunlight, insect damage, etc., thus protecting the quality of goods and extending their shelf life.
Convenient management: Silos can be classified and stored according to the type and quantity of goods, making it easy to manage and find goods.
