The challenge
A major Russian chemical company approached us to develop a logistics solution that would connect its warehouse to the production lines. The project aimed to increase storage capacity while reducing production waste. Our expertise in logistics optimisation projects for the chemical industry led the client to choose Di Massa Srl.
Project development: improving warehouse storage and order picking
The Di Massa team conducted a technical and operational assessment of the existing warehouse to identify the improvements needed to meet the client’s requirements.
We began by increasing storage capacity through the installation of four stacker cranes: two equipped with wireless satellite shuttles and two with fork systems, ensuring precise and selective load handling.
Integrating this advanced equipment streamlined storage operations from the outset, enabling more efficient goods selection and faster handling, while significantly improving the overall logistics efficiency of the company’s chemical operations.
We also designed and implemented a single-level warehouse end-of-aisle area featuring two picking bays,where orders are prepared and pallets monitored before being seamlessly transferred to the designated dispatch area.
Benefits for the client: how has warehouse order picking improved?
The warehouse’s complete redesign increased storage capacity for large items while accelerating order picking. This improved order fulfilment from preparation through to dispatch, helping the client streamline operations and reduce errors.
Installing two automated picking bays also helped reduce picking costs and improve traceability of chemical products, production batches and logistics operations.
