Facing & solving industry challenges
Food Safety & Temperature Control
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Food and beverage storage facilities must maintain high levels of cleanliness and hygiene. Manual handling processes can increase the risk of contamination, spills, and leakage if not properly managed. All storage areas need to meet sanitation standards and be easy to clean.
Automation solutions help transport, store or palletise goods in a consistent and predictable manner, avoiding collision or damage.
Our range of food-grade conveyor belts & hygiene solutions can transport even raw ingredients safely and can be equipped with add-on cleaning units.
Order Fulfillment Accuracy & Efficiency
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Manual picking and packing can be slow and error-prone, especially for large orders or orders with a variety of items. This can lead to delays in order fulfillment, customer dissatisfaction, and missed business opportunities.
Conveyor systems automate the movement of materials and products throughout the warehouse and between different stages of order fulfillment, reducing manual handling time.
WMS enhances inventory management and optimises picking routes, offering real-time visibility into inventory levels.
Robots can be employed for order-picking tasks with high precision and speed.
Space Management
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Increasing and fluctuating demand make it hard to predict order volumes. Meeting customers' need for swift delivery requires maintaining larger stock volumes, which strains storage capacity.
AS/RS and smart software solutions allow for better use of existing warehouse space, maximising vertical and horizontal storage space, while also making it easy to adhere to First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principles to ensure product freshness and prevent spoilage.
Productivity
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Labour-intensive processes such as loading and unloading, palletising, and safe material movement and storage can slow down operations significantly, especially for heavy ingredients. Other factors, such as temperature control can further restrict productivity.
Robotic or semi-automated vacuum handling solutions enable faster & safer palletisation.
Conveyor systems can be used to transport ingredients and finished goods without the need for manual lifting or carrying.
AS/RS help safely store and retrieve material in high-density racks.
Automated truck (un)loading systems operate (un)load a trailer in about 2-3 minutes.
Limited Scalability
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Scalability is a constraint in manual warehouses, making it hard to handle growing order volumes and diversified product offerings.
Automation solutions are scalable and can be implemented gradually. Conveyor Systems, AS/RS and WMS streamline operations, enhance space utilisation, and accommodate rising order volumes and product diversity. Automated picking robots and packing machines can significantly increase order processing speed.
