Alinatur: advanced technology in pet food management

06 Feb 2020

Alinatur, a company specialising in the manufacture of dry food for dogs and cats, was seeking to optimise the space at its logistics centre in Lorca (Murcia). The company will be installing a Pallet Shuttle automated warehouse attended by transfer cars that will provide storage capacity for 5,000 pallets. Easy WMS will be used to manage all operations, optimising movement flow and supervising stock in real time.

With a height of 19.1 m, the warehouse will consist of a single aisle 37.5 m long with two blocks of racking on each side. Seven transfer cars (one at each storage level) will move the goods to the corresponding channel and, once there, the Pallet Shuttle will automatically move the pallets to their corresponding slot.

In addition, to speed up the movement flow, the new warehouse will be connected to the production lines by means of a conveyor circuit.
