ATOX Storage Systems, through its ATOX Centro delegation, has carried out a new installation of metal racks for the pharmaceutical sector in Madrid, consisting of a live racking system designed and manufactured to suit the client’s needs.
The characteristics of pharmaceutical logistics implied the design of optimal storage systems for work in temperature-controlled warehouses. The installation was carried out in a refrigeration chamber for controlled temperatures between 4ºC and 8ºC, made up of several blocks of live racking at a height of 7.5 m, with 4 pallets in height and with variable depths of up to 6 pallets per module.
For the installation, live racking for 750 pallets was manufactured, which, thanks to its roller system, eliminates the need for aisles between pallets, achieving a higher storage density than with conventional pallet racking. This racking system allows palletized loads to move by gravity at a controlled speed. In this specific installation, the racks were designed for a LIFO flow of merchandise, where the last pallet in is the first out, but with a higher level of turnover and greater handling maneuverability than drive-in racks.
Due to the special characteristics of the cold store and the need to carry out this metal racking project in the shortest possible time, both in terms of manufacturing the racks and their installation, the client turned to the quality and reliability of ATOX Storage Systems, which with more With 50 years of experience, it has consolidated experience in a wide variety of industrial and logistics sectors, including the pharmaceutical sector.
The installation was carried out in record time, largely meeting the expectations of the client, who has expressed his great satisfaction with the speed and operation of the ATOX live racking system for palletized warehouses.
With this project, ATOX Storage Systems, through its ATOX Centro de Madrid delegation, reinforces its position in the logistics and pharmaceutical sector.
Shelving for the pharmaceutical sector
ATOX Storage Systems is a leader in the manufacture of high quality industrial racking. It has a consolidated international presence, both in Europe and Latin America, including a wide variety of types of metal racks in its range of storage systems.
Among the ATOX industrial pallet racking solutions for the pharmaceutical sector, the push-back racks and live racks stand out, which allow the elimination of aisles between pallets without sacrificing great agility in handling tasks.
With the aim of providing its customers with solutions for maximum performance warehouses, ATOX is committed to new technologies with its automation systems, such as the Radio Shuttle SHERPA 800, which turns drive-in racking without aisles into high-density storage systems. . DISBAN-H automatic dispensers, which allow fully automatic order preparation, are widely used for automatic pharmacy dispensing. The ATOX light-guided system, both for pick-to-light and put-to-light operations, drastically increases the performance of picking operations in the warehouse.
Both the automatic order preparation dispensers and the light-guided system for pick-to-light operations can be combined with the ATOX roller conveyor system. Smart roller conveyors, which integrate sensors and diverters, increase handling performance by reducing the need for operators to move between warehouse areas.
