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 in this facility now holds 37,558 pallets stacked six high, all within just 12,788 square meters.

This achieved 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 Upgrades

Integrated vertical transfer units and conveyors keep pallets flowing quickly and safely.

They also cut down manual handling and protect temperature-sensitive goods.

As a result, pick and put-away speeds have improved by up to 40%.

This is 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.
