Doel

 

PepsiCo was op zoek naar een manier om haar end-to-end activiteiten te verbeteren, van het beheren van de inkomende voorraad tot efficiënte opslag en verzending naar verschillende distributeurs. Het belangrijkste doel was om de opslag- en doorvoercapaciteit te vergroten, de activiteiten binnen een beperkte ruimte te optimaliseren en een systeem voor rechtstreekse verzending naar distributeurs op te zetten.

 

To tackle this challenge, PepsiCo needed an automated mixed case palletizing solution with a large number of storage bins and pick faces for efficient case picking. The solution also had to allow for manual case picking to create mixed pallets. The innovative solution provided by Addverb not only met these requirements but also automated the manual case-picking process, leading to further improvements in operational efficiency.

 

Oplossing

Addverb conducted an in-depth study by visiting manually operated sites and engaging extensively with stakeholders at all levels, from factory operators to senior leadership. Addverb’s solutions team collaborated closely with PepsiCo to design an innovative warehouse solution, incorporating crane-based Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), Mother-Child Shuttles, and Pick-by-Light technology. These systems were seamlessly integrated and powered by our advanced Warehouse Control System (WCS).

 

A standout feature of the solution was the modification of the Dense Racking System, creating custom aisles for the formation of Rainbow Pallets (mixed case palletizing). This allowed for dynamic allocation of pick faces, significantly improving throughput for both picking and put-away operations. The entire mixed case palletizing automated solution was implemented within a compact 36,000 sq. ft. facility.

Verbetering in belangrijkste resultaten (KPI's)

The solution provided by Addverb is one of the most unique mixed case palletizing solutions as it utilises the Mother-Child shuttle system not only for storage and retrieval but also for Rainbow-Pallet formation at the base of the same dense racking.
