Mecalux will equip the warehouse that Ultracongelados Azarbe is building in its new production centre in the town of Santomera (Murcia). The high-density semi-automatic Pallet Shuttle system with two blocks of pallet racking and eleven shuttles will guarantee a constant flow of goods and the maximum throughput of the installation.
The frozen storage of 7,370 m2 will consist of two blocks of 14 m high pallet racking and very deep lane storage (44.4 m and 31.5 m). With this solution, the company will procure storage capacity for 8,085 pallets of 800 x 1,200 x 2,500 mm and 9,705 pallets of 1,000 x 1,200 x 2,500; which in total will add 17,790 pallets.
Con esta solución, la compañía obtendrá capacidad de almacenaje para 8.085 palets de 800 x 1.200 x 2.500 mm y 9.075 palets de 1.000 x 1.200 x 2.500; lo que en total sumará 17.790 palets.
There are eleven shuttles included in the provision. These shuttles run at a speed of 60 m/min, and will nimbly manage the inputs and outputs of the pallets. Using a tablet connected to a wireless network, operators will direct the operation of the shuttles. Each tablet can interact with any shuttle found within the warehouse, via a standard operating protocol.
