The implementation of the innovative Smart Pallet Shuttle in the food industry offers multiple benefits, as it does in other industries such as pharmaceuticals and retail. Thanks to its advanced technology, Smart Pallet Shuttles provide traceability, scalability, and flexibility in the face of today's skyrocketing demand.
The Smart Pallet Shuttle is designed to adapt to the specific space, speed, and storage requirements of perishable products. This system is key to optimizing operations and keeping products fresh and safe.
We'll tell you how it's revolutionizing food logistics.
Why is the Smart Pallet Shuttle ideal for the food industry?
The Smart Pallet Shuttle is the perfect solution for the food industry, as it exceptionally meets its main operational and regulatory product demands. Below, we'll share some of its most important benefits.
1. Guaranteed traceability. With the innovative Smart Pallet Shuttle, each batch of products in the warehouse is meticulously tracked, ensuring complete control over inputs and outputs. Furthermore, its integration with the WCS System manages the control modules in the Warehouse and Distribution Center, which physically position each item precisely.
This technology adapts perfectly to the specific volumes of each product, within an intelligent and dynamic ecosystem that responds quickly to daily changes, increasing productivity, accelerating deliveries, and improving the accuracy of each operation.
2. Operational agility and efficient rotation. Thanks to the innovative semi-automatic operation of the Smart Pallet Shuttle, it facilitates a smooth and rapid flow of pallets, becoming the perfect solution for perishable products that require continuous rotation, under the efficient warehouse management scheme such as FIFO (First In, First Out).
3. Total space optimization. In the food industry, the Smart Pallet Shuttle integrates easily, thanks to its innovative design that allows for deep storage without intermediate aisles. This system fully optimizes the capacity of temperature-controlled chambers, offering an efficient solution that reduces costs and maximizes every inch of available space in essential areas.
4. High performance in any weather condition. In the food industry, ensuring the safety of perishable products is a priority, which is why the Smart Pallet Shuttle System is adapted to low-temperature chambers. It maintains excellent performance even at extreme temperatures as low as -25°C, ensuring that product quality is never compromised.
Successful integration of a Smart Pallet Shuttle in the food industry
Thanks to the technology provided by a Smart Pallet Shuttle, at G.I.Eicom we have managed hundreds of integrations that drive automation, efficiency, safety, and control. We enable food companies to boost their growth by controlling all their operations and providing the peace of mind needed to face audits and satisfy the most demanding customers. Below, we share one of our most recent success stories, where the integration of a Smart Pallet Shuttle system fully met our client's needs.
Among the challenges and problems, the company faced, we found:
• Limited space in freezing chambers.
• Constant shrinkage and expiration due to a lack of comprehensive visibility and proper product rotation.
• Non-compliance with deliveries due to manual operations.
• Risks due to manual handling of products in extreme temperatures.
What solution did our G.I.Eicom team provide?
Through an analysis by our experts, we defined the aforementioned main challenges and suggested the integration of one of our most innovative and powerful systems: the Smart Pallet Shuttle.
Thanks to this system, it would be possible to maximize warehouse space and maintain precise management of controlled temperatures, while also ensuring uninterrupted operations, ensuring operational efficiency and scalability.
How does the Smart Pallet Shuttle meet these needs?
The integration of the innovative Smart Pallet Shuttle system was carried out quickly and without the need to halt operations. Furthermore, thanks to the incorporation of a WCS (Warehouse Control System), the client achieved precise control over batches, locations, and expiration dates, ensuring complete and reliable traceability.
Among the benefits achieved with a Smart Pallet Shuttle system, we highlight:
• Efficient operational management.
• Cost reduction due to manual operations and losses from the shrink.
• By maximizing warehouse height and depth, available space was maximized, allowing for high inventory volumes.
• Safe operations in low temperatures.
