AUTOMATED WAREHOUSE

The Dulcesol Group has recently inaugurated in a new, totally automated warehouse for the storage of raw materials and the various palletised loads produced out of their baked goods factory. The new facility boasts three robotic stacker cranes which operate over three aisles of conventional shelving 20 metres high, and a shuttle car which links the front of the warehouse with the shipping bay. With the launch of the new system, the company has been able to cut costs and freely move forward with its plan for growth without storage issues ever getting in the way.

The storage system installed at the company’s Gandia factory includes conventional pallet racking with a capacity for 4,752 Europallets. The six aisles of racking measure 116 meters in length by 22 meters in height, and are serviced by Mecalux transelevators. These machines, which are connected to the company’s computer system using standard software, move pallets at a transfer speed of 200m/min and an elevation speed of 60m/min.
