It was the 1st time officially for me to visit a warehouse. Before going into the warehouse I had already studied the different types of storage equipments, however I am shocked to see the actual size of some of the racks which they are using. Besides the physical size surprise me, the electricity usage is the other thing that attracted me to keep an eye on. As we visit the 2nd floor, which is the medical storage area, the whole room is air-conditioned, so the 1st thing that comes into my mind is the electric bill that they are paying for the air-conditioning. However, once we reach level 3, we feel the “real heat”, and I heard from most of the course/class mates (including me) that we are vowing not to work in environments which are similar to the level 3……….Ha-Ha
It is a very benefiting field trip for us, because all the equipments we are seeing in the warehouse are all the things we will be touching in the future, so it is a very good executive summary for every one of us. And this helps us to prepare what to expect to see in the near future.
This field trip showed us the real life in an actual real warehouse; the staff there also explains what the daily routines in the warehouse are and how they handle the goods in the different stages. Overall it was a very fun and interesting trip for us. I hope there will be more chances for us to visit other types of warehouses e.g. cold chain etc.
