Running Out of Freezer Storage Space? Look Up for High Density Automated Storage!

After celebrating over 100 years of producing ice cream, this Alabama firm was running out of warehouse space. In order to keep up with growth, their key distribution center needed to enlarge and streamline their operations. Its 3,000 pallet position, freezer (-30° F) warehouse was quickly running out of room. Because it was a two-story facility, the firm knew they would need to go up to gain more storage space. To streamline production and storage facility an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) consisting of two Storage/Retrieval Machines (SRM) operating in one aisle was installed. The system is 9 levels high and stores more than 7,000 pallets in only 14,000 sq.ft. of space.
