Dematic speeds up Americold warehouse
Dematic has been contracted to automate two temperature-controlled warehouses for Americold Logistics. Headquartered in Atlanta (GA, USA), Americold specialises in temperature-controlled supply chains for food as well as other services.
Dematic’s integrated solution includes a high-bay warehouse with high-bay loading equipment for pallets as well as a multishuttle for buffering and sequencing. Hence, the system covers the entire supply chain: goods entry, automatic delayering, tray handling, sortation, automatic pallet building, dispatch trailer sequencing and ergonomic case picking.
The combination of these subsystems is managed and operated by Dematic iQ software. This combined solution using equipment developed by Dematic enables an automatic palletising of all kinds of products at the same time and guarantees an optimal composition of the shipping pallets. (mw)
