Automated warehouse commission
August 1st 2009 Procter & Gamble has
commissioned Swisslog to
design and implement an
extension to its automated
highbay warehouse in
Manchester. Swisslog
previously worked on
modernising the existing
automated highbay
warehouse in Manchester,
where a very high
availability for both software
and mechanical equipment
has been delivered since
going live. Swisslog will act
as general contractor for
this new order.
The solution is a
standalone cladrack
warehouse including
sprinklers, composite fire
resistant cladding and the
overall integration of systems
with P&G's existing warehouse.
Swisslog will project
manage the extension and
will implement its own
controls and software
products. The company will
also install its conveyors and
Swisslog Accalon cranes,
handling two pallets at a
time simultaneously in
double deep storage. This
will improve performance
and storage density. More articles from Swisslog (UK) Ltd.: |
