To resolve these issues 'Mobile Shelfing' came into existence which could reduce upto half the storage footprint and consolidate warehouse or stock room merchandise.
This is how they work:
This system, which is somehow effective, still doesn't answer the previous question raised earlier of eradicating storage completely and combining it with display. Also, I did not find this system anywhere in my field research. What might the reason be?
Although the system saves a lot of space, is secure and useful for customization , it still does not fit the requirements of my problem statement.
