Logistic & supply chain management in the food & beverage industry have their own set of challenges. Unlike other products, food comes with a sell by date, have specific temperature requirements and need quick stock turnover. There is constant pressure to manage stock outflow. Additionally, one must maintain hygiene and ensure the products are traceable.
PREVALENT SCM has been well inducted into the needs of this complex industry and thus have developed tools & offerings which promise to improve your supply chain drastically. Our solutions are well adapted to regulations & licensing requirements, so it’s a given that we have all the boxes ticked. Here are few of our industry specific solutions:
Adjustable Racking: Recognizing that packaging in the food industry depends on the products and even in that, there are varied SKUs to manage, we have devised racking systems that are adjustable. They are easy to assemble and come with the choice of single racking or double racking specifications. Some key features are:
- Height of racking extendible up to 30 m
- Options to choose between a variety of width & depth
- Accommodates all kinds of foods & beverage products
- Shelve system allows 50mm of adjustment in terms of beam height
- Wide temperature control spectrum; from -30°C to +40°C
- Superior quality galvanization which prevents formation of rust, at any even negative temperatures
- Adjustable as per warehouse floor plan
Cold Storage Solutions: Frozen food stocking units and cold storage warehouses are of prime importance to the food & beverage industry as they help store perishable products & frozen items. PREVALENT SCM’s solutions provide the following benefits:
- Deep storage units which help optimize space
- Automated tracking that reduces pick-up time in cold areas
- Galvanized shelves that keep the system rust-free even at cold temperatures
- Broad temperature spectrum starting at -30°C
Mobile Storage Systems: These are pallet racking systems on wheels. Mobile pallets are known to increase storage space by 80% because you can store items in a compact manner and yet have everything accessible. Customers also have the option of having cold storage systems mounted on mobile pallets. This allows for easy movement of goods in lots, instead of having to expose the entire inventory to temperature fluctuations during outflow of goods.
FIFO For Storage: Our intelligent pallet systems are designed to ensure first-in-first-out. This is an essential feature for the food & beverage industry where lot sizes are large and products have an expiry date. Products are traceable in an efficient manner and it becomes easier to manage them by the batch.
Space & Time Optimization: Overall, our pallet based storage system, especially a mobile one, ensures optimization of space by using every square inch available and thus increasing the quantity of inventory you can hold for the given area. This results in better usage of labor, time and thus productivity.
