Coldstore employs w3/max
For its newly established cold store in Hamm,
Coldstore Hengelo BV has chosen
the standard warehouse management system w3/max from
w3logistics to control the storage equipment supplied by
SSI Schäfer Noell.
The cold store is used for storing food – fresh meat and
convenience foods.
The store consists of four blocks of mobile racks, as well
as 14 fixed racks. At any time, each block has one open
aisle which can be accessed by forklift truck.
The connection of the warehouse to the outside world is
provided by four conveyor belts with air locks.
In the warehouse, European and standard industrial pallets
are transported by fork lift trucks, which are controlled
by radio terminals.
In the staging area of the cold store, there are three
quick-freeze rooms used for freezing the goods or as a buffer
for the repackaging station.
The warehouse management system controls and coordinates all
movements within the mobile rack system.
Using a system simulator developed by w3logistics, the WMS was already
optimally prepared for integration with the control hardware during
the development phase, so that at start of operations everything
worked smoothly – just what the customer expected.
