Körber Supply Chain is proud to announce a new project with Manuel Patrício Produtos Alimentares. Körber will provide automated logistical technologies to increase storage capacity and the company productivity in Portugal. These solutions include Körber’s Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) in a temperature-controlled area.
The automated warehouse and handling system for food products (fresh vegetables), in wood containers, consist in a turnkey solution of Stacker Cranes, automated equipment and Warehouse Control System (WCS), as well as the responsibility of technical coordination with the racking system and refrigeration equipment supplier.
Manuel Patrício project’s Automatic Storage System has the capacity to store a total of approximately 3500 Tons of food. In addition, it has the capacity to move approximately 57 Tons of Inlet plus 48 Tons of output per hour, which means, with the capacity to move approximately 460 Tons of Entry, plus 384 Tons of Output daily (for 8 h).
Manuel Patrício Produtos Alimentares was having difficulties with the limited space to store the wood containers in the manual system. Also, the access was very demanding and subject to a lot of accidents since the containers were all piled up, completely impossible to implement a FIFO.
“The option for Körber in the implementation of this project came naturally because it is a company well rooted in the market, with evidence given in the implementation of such solutions in the market. The company is guided by professionalism and tireless effort to meet customer requirements” reinforces Manuel Patrício, Company Manager.
