Features/Benefits Provided:   Low initial capital cost Expansion potential increased by 66 percent Integrated WCS resulted in increased response times

This poultry processing facility found itself facing a requirement to provide improved responsiveness, performance and quality in their cold store operation (-10°F). To accomplish this, they implemented a new, automated 5-aisle storage system. The system includes three (3) aisle- changing automated cranes, a fully integrated conveyor system from production to shipping, an integrated radio frequency communications system, and a Warehouse Control System integrated with the existing in-house WMS.

Incorporation of this system has resulted in quite a few benefits for this poultry processing customer. Expansion requirements should be attainable as the initial installation of three (3) aisle-changing automated cranes was set up to accommodate two (2) additional future cranes. The WCS has an extensive product quality system to aid in management of audit function and releases. The enhanced put-away and order picking functionality in the WCS results in faster response and improved system performance.

The system is supported on-site by a 24-hour dedicated site maintenance team.
