A three-aisle high-bay warehouse for the dry goods line provides 11,300 double-deep storage locations, which are quickly and reliably supplied by three energy-efficient SSI Exyz storage-retrieval machines. In addition, a two-aisle shuttle warehouse enables 20,800 locations for smaller load carriers. Four SSI Cuby lifts and 50 SSI Cuby single-level shuttles transport bins or cartons weighting up to 35 kg. SSI SCHAEFER also installed two palletizing and two depalletizing workstations for fast and efficient incoming goods handling and order consolidation.
After picking is completed and the order is prepared for dispatch, it can be placed back in the high-bay warehouse for buffering before the delivery truck is ready to pick it up. This way the floor space is not taken up by storing the ready pallets.
The design of the deep-freeze zone within the new warehouse is equally impressive. Goods are stored at at -19°C in a two-aisle HBW with 3,600 storage locations for load carriers. 9,700 trays are stored in an automated two-aisle ASPW system. Assembling and dissembling of pallets are completed on two ergonomic workstations designed in line with the ergonomics@work!® concept. The sophisticated workstation solution boosts logical user guidance and built-in error detection.
The concept is designed to ensure maximum process efficiency as well as convenience and better working conditions for the employees.
