- Client: The Coca Cola Company | Rosa water
- Industry: Food and Beverages | Bottling industry | ROSA water contains low levels of mineralization - of only 50 mg/l. and has a significantly low sodium content - only 2.7 mg/l. These characteristics make the water suitable for pregnant women and children, and even for baby food preparation.The warehouse is a strategic distribution hub for the ROSA brand in Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Kosovo and has to provide palletized bottles for numerous trucks on a daily basis.
- Period of implementation: The engineering and the design of the heavy-duty racks structure and the robotic systems was done during the same period as the construction of the external structure of the warehouse and took 2 months. In just 3 weeks, the system was put into operation.
- Challenge: A huge amount of trucks have to be loaded daily with nearly 1000 kg. pallets. STAMH had to design and build a racking system for storing and retrieving pallets, able to use effectively the limited space, storing various products, but mostly to retrieve and store pallets really quickly.
- Solution: Radio Shuttle is one of the most efficient solutions offered by STAMH Group. The new storage system built for Coca-Cola is capable to accommodate up to 4 608 pallets in a limited space. It is organized in 32 corridors with a total of 6 stacking levels. It has the ability to store and retrieve up to 192 different SKUS, organized in wrapped pallets - products with different labels and packaging, designed for different markets. The new storage system is equipped with 4 semi-automatic Radio Shuttle platforms for pallets storage and retrieval. The racking construction is stable and allows the smooth and fast Radio Shuttle platforms operations. Each Radio Shuttle platform can operate in a fully automated mode in each of the 192 corridors.
- Achievement: The Radio Shuttle platforms were programmed to achieve maximum storage density by positioning each pallet at a maximum distance of 5 cm. one from another, while operating at optimum speed. They passed successfully all the performance tests, meeting the highset possible standards required by the customer.
