Objectives:

To provide the best storage solution by creating a buffer zone in order to comply with the quarantine and control procedures for raw materials awaiting shipment.
To centralise logistics operations at a single production site.

Solution:

Automatic pallet racking system connecting the production and the shipment departments for storage of UHT milk in bottles or cartons.
Two stacker cranes with forks with on-board operator cab.
Double-depth shelving with 7 staggered load levels.
Peripheral equipment comprising 4 conveyor lines, 2 inbound lines and 2 outbound lines for each stacker, supported in turn by 4 mezzanines.
Lighting system with LED luminaires to facilitate maintenance of the stacker crane rails.

Technical features

The entire stacker crane control electronics has been designed to be powered by a dedicated line, via UPS, so as ensure service continuity in the event of power outages.
The two stacker cranes are equipped with on-board cabs to allow operators to work at unit load level.
The busbars supplied with the stacker cranes have been installed with the power tracks facing downwards, to avoid power failures in the event of milk spillages.
All of the system electrical panels (stacker cranes and peripherals) are equipped with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Added value:

Increased logistics efficiency thanks to centralisation of shipments.
Cost reductions due to unified logistics management at a single site, eliminating the cost of renting external storage spaces.
