High bay offers relief

UNICEF, Denmark is building a new dc to be the central hub for worldwide relief operations.

Central to the facility will be a fully automated high-bay pallet racking system with 36,828 storage spaces and an automatic small parts store from SSI Schaefer in Copenhagen.

UNICEF is implementing the Schaefer Compact Crane (SCC) pallet racking servicing unit in the high-bay racking system. In the small parts store where smaller aid goods are stored, the Schaefer Miniload Crane (SMC) storage and retrieval device will handle the orders.

Pallet conveyor technology and electrical floor tracks form the link that conveys the goods to the workstations, from where the packages are sent around the world, once they are complete.
