Challenges facing the food & beverages market’s warehouses

The food and beverage industry faces unique challenges when it comes to warehousing and racking. Here are some of the biggest hurdles:

Strict regulations

Food warehouses must comply with strict regulations to ensure food safety. This includes temperature control, hygiene protocols, and proper handling procedures.

Temperature control

Maintaining proper temperatures throughout storage and transportation is vital to prevent spoilage and ensure food safety. This can be especially challenging for perishable items.

Demand fluctuations

Demand for food and beverages can fluctuate seasonally or due to trends. Warehouses need to balance stock levels to avoid stockouts or overstocking perishable items.

Warehouse layout

Designing a warehouse layout that optimises picking, packing, and shipping for various product types is crucial.

Warehouse automation

While some automation can improve efficiency, some food products require delicate handling that isn’t easily automated. Finding the right balance is important.

By addressing these challenges, food and beverage warehouses can ensure efficient operations, maintain product safety, and meet the ever-changing demands of the industry.

The racking is the warehouse

The stow Silo is a cost-efficient storage solution where the racking is also the load-bearing construction of the warehouse. Saving out the cost of an extra building, the roof and wall cladding are fixed directly onto the rack structure. The usual building costs for a warehouse installation are eliminated.

High performance, maximum autonomy

The stow Atlas® pallet shuttle system is a deep lane storage and retrieval system. The heart of the system is a carrier used to move pallets within a specifically designed racking structure. This results in an optimised storage capacity.

Increased storage space with drive-in racks

Drive-in racking systems eliminate picking aisles and are the ideal solution for storing large quantities of identical pallets. The system provides safe block stacking for goods, that are not stable enough to be stacked one on top of the other. stow’s PalRack® system is particularly suitable to build drive-in installations. The upright widths of up to 140 mm allow us to build very high installations.
