Built the way we build everything else — properly.

SBN Storage & Automation Pvt. Ltd. is an industrial engineering company based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Here's how we think about the work.

Our Approach

Storage and automation are usually sold as two different jobs. We treat them as one drawing.

SBN was set up to close that gap: one engineering team that surveys the site, designs the layout, fabricates the structure, and builds the automation that runs through it — so the racking, the access points and the material flow are designed against the same set of numbers. That single-threaded continuity is not a marketing slogan; it is a fundamental operational philosophy that eliminates the friction, miscommunication, and costly rework that plague multi-vendor projects. In a typical warehouse build, you might hire a civil consultant for the slab, a racking supplier for the storage medium, a separate automation integrator for the conveyors, and yet another contractor for the dock equipment. Each works from their own drawings, their own assumptions about floor flatness, their own interpretation of your throughput targets. When the pallet does not clear the transfer car by 10 mm, or the shutter header conflicts with the conveyor overhead support, no one takes ownership—they point at each other's tolerances.

We built SBN to be that single point of accountability from the very first site visit. Our engineering team walks your floor with a single set of instruments and a unified data-capture protocol. We measure your existing slab thickness, column grid, overhead obstructions, and utility penetrations once. We log your actual forklift turning radii, your peak receiving hours, and your slowest-moving SKU categories. That raw dataset becomes the sole source of truth for every subsequent decision: the racking beam heights, the dock-leveller pit dimensions, the conveyor motor sizing, and the control-panel I/O counts all trace back to the same origin. There is no "design by handoff" where critical details degrade between disciplines.



01

Engineering First

Every layout starts from load calculations and floor surveys, not a catalogue page. If the numbers don't work, the design changes before fabrication does.

02

Fabricated In-House

Racking, shutters and structural components are built at our own works in Panki, Kanpur — so tolerances, finish and lead times stay in our control.

03

One Point of Contact

The team that surveys your site is accountable through design, fabrication, installation and the support call six months later.

How We Work

Every project moves through the same five stages.

It's a short list on purpose — each stage exists because skipping it has cost someone a rework before.

01

Site Survey

Floor load, column spacing, dock positions and traffic patterns are measured on-site before any layout is drawn.

02

Design & Engineering

Racking, shutter and automation drawings are sized to your SKU mix, throughput and floor load — reviewed with you before fabrication starts.

03

Fabrication

Structural components are welded and finished at our Panki works, under the same drawing set used for installation.

04

Installation

Our own crews install and align on-site, sequenced to keep the facility operating with minimal downtime.

05

Support

Scheduled checks, spares and adjustments as load patterns or SKU mix change over time.

What We Won't Do

A short list of things we've learned not to compromise on.

—

Guess a load rating

Every racking system is specified to a calculated load, not a rounded-up assumption.

—

Skip the site survey

Drawings made from a floor plan alone miss the column, drain, or beam that changes everything.

—

Hand off and disappear

The team on your commissioning day is reachable on your support call, too.
