Food Manufacturing

Semi-automated and fully automated warehouse systems are ideal solution for the food industry. They are economical, scalable, tailor-made and precisely keep up with the changing demands.

The food industry's basic requirements include a strict quality control & clean environment, and secured batch tracking. The wide range of products and package sizes creates challenges for manually picking and staging goods. Furthermore, managing perishable goods, maintaining stringent safety standards, and ensuring efficient operations require innovative solutions. While the rules have their differences, the below must be heeded when considering implementing automated material handling systems.

Order and Delivery Errors: Picking errors can lead to incorrect shipments and wasted food, especially with high throughput demands.

Flexibility: Products come in various form factors (bag, can, box, case) and weights. WMS consolidating product handling in fewer, more prominent locations can help manage diverse product requirements, including multiple temperature, shelf-life, and humidity settings.
