Creating the perfect warehouse: Examples of some of our recent projects.
This is a fast-moving environment. Storing goods, distributing goods and materials handling has changed beyond recognition in the past ten years. The virus outbreak in 2020 took things to a whole new level
It’s been estimated that in 2020, 80% of warehouses in the UK are not fit for purpose. Service levels are, at best, described as poor.
As the leading supply chain consulting group in the UK, we can help you take your operations to the next level. So you will achieve greater efficiency and low running costs.
We have worked on warehouse improvement projects varying in size from complex global networks to a single unit.
Warehouse Operations Experts: Our Success Stories.
A New Design: 35,000 square metres.
This particular case involved the design of a new 35,000 m2 for a major retail food chain. So the key factors were:
- Designing separate compartments to accommodate food products at various temperatures.
- Provision for ambient control of temperature for fresh foods and also vegetables.
- Specification of all freezing and cooling equipment.
- Complete design of loading docks for cross-docking.
- Finally, design for incoming traffic and despatch to allow for external traffic flows and parking.
Warehouse Design and operations: 30,000 Pallet Capacity Warehouse
This particular client required the identification of the optimum location of the site. In addition, it was vital to get the optimum shape and height.
Project Management of a 32 Metre High Automated Warehouse.
This involved the project management of a 32m high fully automated storage and high rate retrieval facility. We specified a double-decked crane system capable of achieving a throughput of 20,00 units per hour. This was the first system like this ever built in Europe. It’s also worth noting that this massive project was completed both on time and on budget.
Operating Efficiency Review of an Automated European Distribution Centre.
This case was an efficiency review of an existing fully automated storage and retrieval facility.
The centre provided high bay pallet storage coupled with a tray system for small items. Conveyors were used for both packing areas and end sortation. So the project required a new design for all of the systems. This included setting up a new model for manpower planning and improved productivity.
Redesign of Raw Materials Stores.
This involved the storage of several different pallet sizes. In addition, there were varying stack height capabilities to serve a high-speed processing and packing operation.
