Selective Pallet Racking Optimizes Pharma Packaging Material Warehouse in Phases
Summary
Craftsman Storage implemented a custom three-height Selective Pallet Racking system across 4,235 sq mt for a pharma packaging warehouse, delivering 5,050 pallet positions in phased installation completed within two weeks without disrupting live warehouse operations.
A well-known company in medicine manufacturing, encountered significant challenges while setting up a new warehouse. This warehouse, covering approximately 4,235 square meters, was intended for storing packaging materials.
Problem Statement & Challenges Faced
- The warehouse had multiple levels, which made it difficult to use the racks effectively for storage.
- The warehouse was already operational, so the new system had to be installed in phases to avoid disrupting daily activities.
- Reusing old racks proved ineffective. They did not optimize the available vertical space, resulting in inefficient storage capacity utilization.
- The installation needed to be completed quickly to keep up with the company's workload.
The Solution
- The new system provided 5,050 pallet positions, maximizing storage space.
- The Racking System was custom-designed with three different heights, tailored to fit the warehouse's varying levels.
- The layout included pathways that improved accessibility and facilitated the smooth movement of materials.
- The installation was carried out in stages, allowing the warehouse to remain operational. The racks were delivered promptly, within two weeks, to meet the deadline.
To address these challenges, they opted for an advanced Selective Pallet Racking (SPR) system. Here’s how it worked:
Benefits to the customer
- The new design optimized space utilization, making the warehouse more organized and efficient.
- The modernized racking system enhanced workplace safety by improving material handling and storage processes.
- The new racks were of superior quality compared to those used by competitors, providing a more reliable storage solution.
- Thanks to quick delivery and careful planning, the company met its timeline without disrupting ongoing operations.
