KLAUS Multiparking America is proud to announce that President & CEO, Christopher Tiessen, has been featured in Supply Chain Brain’s Think Tank, contributing expert insights on logistics facility design, space optimization, and operational efficiency.
The article, “The Square-Footage Problem That Logistics Facilities Are Building Into Their Future,” explores a critical issue facing today’s industrial and logistics developments: how early layout and space planning decisions can directly impact long-term performance, cost, and scalability.
While much of the conversation in logistics focuses on automation, robotics, and supply chain technology, this Think Tank feature highlights a foundational challenge—many inefficiencies are designed into facilities long before automation is implemented. Poor space utilization, constrained layouts, and overlooked traffic flow can create lasting operational bottlenecks.
This perspective reinforces the importance of strategic planning in warehouse design and logistics infrastructure, where optimizing square footage is just as critical as investing in new technologies.
As demand for industrial space continues to grow, developers, architects, and operators are increasingly recognizing that smarter space planning leads to more efficient, future-ready facilities. Solutions such as mechanical and automated parking systems are also gaining attention as a way to reduce surface parking requirements, free up valuable square footage, and improve overall site efficiency—especially in space-constrained environments.
