Integrated warehouse solution

Global provider of integrated logistics solutions for warehouses and distribution centres, Swisslog, has provided a new warehouse solution for Blum in Hoxton Park, Sydney.

Swisslog was commissioned by Blum in April 2009 to deliver a solution which comprises three high speed pallet cranes, 265m of conveyor, a shuttle car and two ergonomic pick stations with lift tables. Swisslog has also supplied and integrated its WarehouseManager software solution, with controls interfacing to Blum's host system.

Work commenced on site in November 2009 and Swisslog's solution went live on schedule in May 2010. Swisslog has also secured a support contract for the site to ensure the long-term availability of its logistics system for Blum.

Palletised products are stored in the 32m tall highbay warehouse, served by the three high speed pallet cranes which each complete 36 double cycles per hour.
