Automating to Improve Inventory Management and Customer Service

Stemilt Growers is a family-owned and operated business that grows and distributes a variety of fresh fruits. Stemilt had rigorous requirements for an automation system. Pallets of fresh fruits can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, and not every automation system can handle that weight. In addition, different varieties of fruit needed to be stored at different temperatures to maintain freshness. The modular PowerStore system for Stemilt is sized to hold more than 13,000 pallets across five levels with 25 row carriers and 25 aisle carriers. The PowerStore Supply Carrier ensures efficient and reliable inbound and outbound pallet delivery at high speeds.
