Initial situation
Integrated National Logistics (INL) is a total logistics solutions provider for companies seeking seamless total supply chain support for their products and services across MENA region and beyond.
An appropriate building was constructed to meet all future requirements. The specified dimensions of the building and the general requirements of the 3PL providers form the basis for the design of the automatic storage and retrieval solution with the automatic picking stations.The project includes two mirror-image automatic high-bay warehouses.
Solution
Automated pallet storage system for frozen goods with temperature zones from -18 to -30°C.
In the two storage areas, a pallet loop connects the seven storage and retrieval machines, the input/output station for pallets and the 6 carton picking stations (goods-to-person) for B and C articles.
The A articles are picked at manual picking stations (person-to-goods).
Inventory management, material flow control and picking management are mapped by the Unitechnik warehouse management system UniWare-LVS.
