Case Study: Multi-directional shuttle system for food & beverage
A major food and beverage manufacturer required additional capacity and increased throughput, but faced constraints related to space and temperature control. Traditional racking couldn’t keep up with seasonal spikes, so Platform 1 engineered a multi-directional shuttle system to unlock hidden capacity.
High-Density Storage
The new system now holds 37,558 pallets stacked six high, all within just 12,788 square meters, achieving a tight storage density of just 3.66 square feet per pallet.
Smart taxi carts travel horizontally and vertically, moving inventory where it needs to go without aisle congestion.
Automation
Integrated Vertical Transfer Units and conveyors keep pallets flowing quickly and safely, cutting manual handling and protecting temperature-sensitive goods.
As a result, pick and put-away speeds have improved by up to 40%, especially vital during seasonal rushes.
Phased Integration
Engineered for ease, the system was installed in phases to maintain production uptime. Custom software ties everything into the warehouse management system.
Hands-on training ensured the client’s team could keep operations running at peak performance from day one.

What was once static storage now runs like an automated engine room, freeing up people, space, and budget for what matters most. With high-density capacity that flexes with demand, lower costs per pallet, and a supply chain that keeps moving, this operation stays efficient today and ready to grow tomorrow.

Case Study: Clad rack high-density automated storage
When a large industrial logistics operation faced growing inventory demands but no room to expand, they needed a smarter way to make every cubic meter work harder. Platform 1 delivered with a custom clad rack system that does exactly that. Unlike conventional warehouse racking, a clad rack combines the building and the storage structure into one, maximizing capacity without adding to the footprint.
Smart Vertical Design
This project delivered 8,708 pallet positions stacked 13 levels high, reaching nearly 23 meters, all within just 3,620 square meters of ground space.
Every pallet takes up just 4.47 square feet, providing a 4x boost in storage density compared to traditional systems.
Seamless Automation
Automated storage and retrieval cranes work around the clock, minimizing manual lift-truck handling and cutting human error.
Built-in fire baffles and reinforced structural elements ensure safety and compliance, even at height.
Engineering Challenges Solved
To make it work, our engineering teams tackled tight structural tolerances and phased construction to avoid disrupting operations.
We integrated AS/RS cranes, conveyors, and intelligent software to blend seamlessly with the client’s logistics workflows.
Today, this high-density clad rack facility handles higher volumes without growing its footprint. Automation and smart design free up time, reduce operating costs, and give the client full confidence that their logistics are built to scale.
