CUSTOMER NEEDS
Ajinomoto turned to Cassioli for the realisation of an automatic warehouse for the storage of pallets of different types, from big bags to jerry cans for liquids of various kinds.
Cassioli was also to take care of the handling of the pallets at the inbound and outbound warehouse. The factory where the new automated plant was designed was in Pederneiras, one of the company’s four industrial plants, located in the state of São Paulo in Brazil.
The different types of pallets arrive at the warehouse via a system of roller and chain conveyors. They then pass through quality and shape control and enter the automated warehouse. Here, they are picked by the ISAT pallet shuttle, which, through the ILIFT, provides multi-depth storage in the 7 depth levels of the warehouse, for each side.
The maximum weight of the pallets is 1050 kg and the total warehouse measures 33.3 metres long by 22.6 metres wide (each side of the warehouse). The height of the warehouse is 6.9 metres, on 4 levels.
The two Cassioli LGVs help to move pallets in and out of the automated warehouse.
