The Requirements
Our client had strategically decided to club the many smaller Distribution Centers into one large distribution center to cater the orders across our country in a motive to reduce the picking time and to improve the storage capacity. They had a conventional methodology of ground stacking which leads to the increasing material occupancy of FG stocks at ground which caused them a hassle in picking & handling of goods The requirement was to provide a storage model to improve the current storage capacity of 5,00,000 pairs to be doubled and minimum 200 cases per hour have to be handled.
The Solution
- Two Level Modular Mezzanine structure (G+2) along with shelving racks had been designed and erected for storing the cases
- Chute & PD station had been provided to handle the carton boxes integrated along with the input/output feeding options at all levels
- Loading gate provision had been offered to assist bulk inward of cases via pallet through Forklift truck
- Pallet / Trolley movement provision over the catwalk to ease inward & outward movements on all floors
Benefits to the customer
Storage Capacity had been increased to more than double accounting to about 10,50,000 pairs from earlier storage capacity of 5,00,000 pairs with improved selectivity to each case. Multiple product variants from different DC’s were accommodated in a single DC with versatile racking configuration. Mezzanine structure and Shelving Racks are detachable and can be individually positioned to suit the arising storage needs in future if any.
