High Density Push Back Rack System for Large Worldwide Beverage Manufacturer

The facility was designed to provide for ever increasing inventory levels and eliminate the need for outside warehousing. The costs associated with these requirements were skyrocketing as the business grew and filled the distributions facilities. The systems that have been implemented in the facility combine three very different styles of storage to address the various requirements within the facility.

 

The majority of storage within the facility focuses on density and efficiency for full pallet loads. This is the core of the business and the storage layout was designed to provide for high density and picking efficiency for full pallet loads. The layout includes thousands of pallet positions of high density push back storage systems ranging from four to five deep. Product mix was analyzed and a plan for slotting the system was developed prior to the completion of the installation so that systems could be set up prior to implementation.  This mix was designed to allow for the greatest utilization within the racking systems as well as to fit the internal structure of the facility. The push back storage systems are combined with floor storage areas designed for handling and throughput efficiency of pallet loads that are virtually cross docked through the building.

There are two areas designed to handle the non pallet load picking operations in the facility. The facility utilizes selective rack end caps to provide for case picking flexibility throughout the warehouse. There are also three pick modules designed for manual picking from 2 deep storage with replenishment from two deep push back above. These modules will provide for the ever increasing demands for individual case picking within the facility.

 

The Manufacturer's  team combined efforts with the Meyer Material Handling  team to develop the internal solutions for the storage and handling systems in the facility. Meyer utilized the services of Steel King Industries and Advance Storage Products as primary participants and their input and assistance were contributing factors to the success of the project. The project was successfully completed on schedule; a credit to all parties involved.
