Every degree colder costs money
Freshness is crucial, especially in the refrigeration sector. Products quickly forfeit their nutritional properties after being caught, slaughtered or harvested. Processing using different freezing processes is then required although this involves high energy costs.
A challenge, especially for logistics - innovative automation solutions from Westfalia are:
- cost-efficient, due to a high level of automation – down to -30 degrees Centigrade
- flexible, as automatic operation in 2 shifts is possible
- improved quality, due to careful goods handling
Practical example: Kloosterboer – Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Kloosterboer, one of the leading logistics companies in the Netherlands specialising in the storage, distribution, transport and customs clearance of temperature-controlled goods, asked Westfalia to create a fully automatic high-bay warehouse. During the design stage, the objectives were high efficiency, a reduction in the level of manual effort as well as improved flexibility.
Making demands on quality and reliability with high efficiency
Automated dispatch handling already starts with automatic truck loading at the manufacturer's works and continues via storage with the specific double Satellite® technology for the simultaneous pick-up of two pallets side by side. A high-quality automated logistics chain was set up from the manufacturer to the end customer, ensuring efficiency and flexibility along its entire length more...
