📝Detailed Information

Key Features & Capabilities

The 100-foot tall, 12-aisle AS/RS provides ultra-high-density storage for a massive inventory of cookware, enabling Meyer to consolidate its distribution from what would have required a 750,000 square foot conventional warehouse into a 165,000 square foot automated facility—a reduction of over 78% in footprint.

The double-deep storage configuration within the AS/RS effectively doubles the storage density per aisle compared to single-deep systems, contributing significantly to the space savings and high pallet count capacity of 66,000.

The integrated fleet of four Sorting Transfer Vehicles automates the horizontal transport of pallets, connecting the high-bay storage area with downstream shipping processes without manual forklift intervention.
