Taking the cold storage of a large fresh food cold chain enterprise in the Philippines as an example, the enterprise mainly stores and distributes fresh products such as seafood, meat, and fruits and vegetables. The cold storage is located in the suburbs of Manila, covering an area of about 15000 square meters with a storage capacity of 20000 tons. In order to improve storage efficiency and meet the special storage needs of fresh products, the company has introduced a crossbeam racking system.
High storage density implementation: By using crossbeam rack, the storage density of the cold storage has been increased by about 30%. The area that originally could only store single-layer goods can now store multi-layer goods, significantly reducing the footprint of the cold storage. This not only reduces rental costs, but also increases the utilization rate of cold storage.
Product classification storage: Due to the wide variety of fresh products, the flexibility of crossbeam rack is fully reflected. Different types of products are classified and stored in different rack areas for easy management and retrieval. For example, seafood products are stored on crossbeam racks in low-temperature areas, while fruit and vegetable products are stored on rack in temperature controlled areas.
Efficient management: The cold storage has introduced a WMS system, combined with beam rack, to achieve real-time monitoring and efficient management of goods. Staff can quickly locate goods through the system, reducing search time and improving the efficiency of goods in and out of the warehouse. In addition, the system can automatically generate inventory reports to help management understand the inventory situation in a timely manner and make scientific decisions.
Improved safety: The stable design of the crossbeam rack ensures the safety of fresh products during storage. Especially when storing heavy cargo, such as large seafood boxes, the high load-bearing capacity of crossbeam racks effectively prevents the risk of cargo collapse. In addition, the racks are equipped with anti slip pads and shock-absorbing devices, further improving storage safety.
Rapid turnover realization: Fresh products have a short rack life, requiring cold storage to achieve rapid inbound and outbound. The structure of the crossbeam racking is simple, facilitating the storage and retrieval of goods, ensuring that fresh products enter the market in the shortest possible time. For example, during the peak season of seafood products, the cold storage achieves rapid inbound and outbound through efficient management of crossbeam racks, ensuring the freshness of the products.
Cost control: By using crossbeam rack, the operating costs of the cold storage have been effectively controlled. Efficient storage and management reduce labor costs, while high storage density reduces rent and energy consumption. These cost savings directly enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise.
