- Space constraint: limited space (8500 sq feet) available to store 4500 pallets
- Higher storage capacity to meet seasonal market demands ( Jan to June)
- To reduce manpower in handling goods at sub-zero temperatures.
- End to end automation: pallet inward from production area to dispatch.
- Higher throughput demands to handle 60 pallets per hour
- 70% partial picking requirement
- Efficient Inventory control and FIFO at warehouse
The Solution
- Rack Clad system with Triple Deep Stacker Crane ASRS
