Dynamic storage clean up at Abena

DSS designed a range of solutions for storage capacity, effective use of space, throughputs, integration with existing fork lift trucks and ergonomic and clean room picking for particular products. For example, certain hygiene products need to be stored in a clean room or with lidded plastic boxes. Additionally there are difficulties in loose products on pallets needing to be stored on shelves above the ground floor pallet in the racking. DSS’s solution for this was to install carton live beds with roller tracks combined with plastic trays to enable loose products to be picked easily and efficiently.

DSS’s proposal was also designed to offer low maintenance costs and allow room for further expansion in the future. DSS installed the racking, shelving, carton live, rack labelling, signage, floor painting and mesh and barrier protection throughout the building and work was finished on time and within budget.

The warehouse has a sophisticated WMS and its capacity has more than doubled to approximately 3000 pallets, with four dock-levellers that speed up the distribution process.
