NAVARRA

SELF SUPPORTED AUTOMATED WAREHOUSE

The frozen vegetable processing company Congelados de Navarra has doubled its sub-zero storage capacity with the implementation of an automated self-supporting warehouse featuring a height of 33 meters and a storage capacity for nearly 9,000 pallets. With the new installation, forklift operators will no longer be required to work in conditions of extreme cold (-20oC). Handling of goods is averted, and in this way, order is improved and pallet breakage is minimized.

The Congelados de Navarra warehouse is composed of four aisles of shelves and four stacker cranes. The facility’s total capacity is 8,944 pallets, with a maximum weight of 1,000kg per unit. All items are stored equally on the four aisles, so that a robot breakdown cannot stall placement or removal of any particular item. The silo works with 1,000 different items, the turnover of which fluctuates between one day and a year, depending on the product.
