跨越鸿沟
印度是世界第五大经济体，拥有 13.5 亿人口，已成为南亚发展最快的 IT 中心之一。然而，印度长期以来也以其较低的工资结构和广阔的劳动力市场而闻名。另一方面，它拥有一批年轻的技术爱好者和创新者。根据全球创新指数，印度的排名从2015年的第81位上升到2019年的第52位。值得注意的是，印度的初创企业和公司正在不断采取重大措施，进一步提高技术创新。
现代仓库的技术进步
如今，越来越多的企业在仓库运营中采用技术，希望减少运营费用和因错误而产生的不必要成本，从而保持运营领先于竞争对手。许多企业投资于高效的仓库设计，更注重吞吐量效率、准时制系统 (JIT) 库存管理和存储效率，以获得更好的利润率。自动存储和检索系统等技术可以显着增加存储量，帮助企业应对印度各地仓库不断增长的消费、不断上涨的能源价格和商业节奏。
潮流引领者 AMUL 通过创新引领印度乳制品行业
2013-14 年，Amul Dairy 主动将其传统存储转变为自动化仓库，并开始使用电动移动货架系统来存储生切达干酪，因为所需的吞吐量较低且需要 100% 的选择性。同时，对于加工奶酪（成品），Amul Dairy 安装了带有堆垛机的自动存储和检索系统，以优化吞吐量并利用较小的占地面积实现高效存储。 Amul Dairy 还为黄油、粉末、巧克力和 RUTF 产品等其他产品实施了这些解决方案。现在，Amul Dairy 再次开始考虑扩建其奶酪存储设施，计划在其 2,433 平方米的冷藏室中存储 6,000 多个托盘位置，用于仓库中的存储和物料移动。预计总空间用于在移动货架系统上存储“生奶酪”（约 2100 个托盘），以及在 ASRS 中存储“加工奶酪”（约 4000 个托盘）。
客户需求和合作的真正意义
SSI Schaefer 久经考验的 ESX2.0 移动货架系统是 Amul Dairy 的明智选择，因为已经安装了 3 个移动货架系统。然而，ASRS 系统可能会对保守数量的托盘构成较小的挑战，因为 Amul Dairy 希望确保其土建投资最佳，因此必须优化楼板投资和建筑高度，以在不影响存储容量的情况下达到最佳点和吞吐量。 SSI Schaefer India 的解决方案设计团队在此负责帮助 Amul Dairy 实现项目目标。 SSI Schaefer India 开始寻找解决客户痛点的正确答案，而不是立即开始部署任何 ASRS。
SSI Schaefer India 的解决方案设计团队提出了一种解决方案，即“单层穿梭机，又称母子穿梭机”多深度 ASRS。 通过采用正确的合作方式开发高密度单层穿梭车解决方案，剩余的 3,936 个托盘位置问题得到了解决。现在，集成设计将在两种类型的解决方案（即移动货架系统和高密度 ASRS 系统）中处理给定空间内最多数量的托盘位置。

We have introduced the single level shuttle automated solution to the early adopters (Amul Dairy and few others) and now trying to cross the chasm to reach out to the early majority!" Suunil Dabral.
About AMUL: THE TASTE OF INDIA
Amul is an Indian dairy cooperative, based at Anand in the state of Gujarat, India registered on 14th December 1946 by farmers inspired by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to protest the unfair trade practices of milk traders and middlemen. The Union made a humble beginning with a collection of 250 litters of milk from a handful of farmers. The Amul model is a three-tier structure comprising of Primary village cooperative society, where the milk is tested for quality and collected from its producer members. Then the milk is brought to a District Union for processing and further value addition. Union also provides a range of inputs and services to village co-operative societies and their members: feed, veterinary care, artificial insemination to sustain the growth of milk production and the cooperatives' business. Finally, a State level Marketing Federation which is an apex body of all the district unions will be marketing milk and milk products domestically and internationally. It is a cooperative brand managed by a cooperative body, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), which today is jointly owned by 3.6 million milk producers in Gujarat.
