Linpac are auto-matic choice for MG
December 1st 2007 Preparations are being made
at Longbridge in Birmingham
to once more begin
production of MG cars. NAC
has been preparing the
production lines to allow
manufacturing to restart.
As part of that process a
new Inbound Logistics area
has been created, complete
with bespoke storage
solution from LINPAC
Storage Systems. Located in
Cell 6, adjacent to the
assembly plant, Inbound
Logistics will receive
components from China,
Europe and the UK.
The completed scheme
consists of wide aisle pallet
racking and carton live
shelving to store the diverse
range of car components
required to feed the lineside
units in the nearby assembly
factory. All of the pallet
racking is timber decked to
accommodate up to six levels
of different sized pallets.
Smaller components are held
on carton live shelving which
transports the boxes of parts
on gravity tracks to
automatically replenish the
pick face.
"Now all our movements
are internal and we have
been able to cut down on
handling time too," says Gary
Egan, manager for NAC. More articles from LINPAC Storage Systems Limited: |
