Moderna Products equipped its warehouse with an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) for pallets, provided by Mecalux. This system connects the manufacturing areas with those for storing finished and unfinished products, as well as with the order preparation and shipping section of the distribution center.
The Mecalux system ensures the uninterrupted flow of goods between the various areas of the facility. Five double-mast stacker cranes handle the movement of pallets within the storage aisles, and a system of conveyors moves pet products to and from the manufacturing and order preparation areas. Additionally, Moderna Products manages all operations with Easy WMS, an enterprise software that monitors every step, from order reception to shipping, providing complete control over the company’s internal supply chain.
Bart Bonte, owner and CEO of Moderna Products, stated, “We’re proud to say we manage the entire supply chain, spanning product development, production, storage, and distribution.” The company, which manufactures sustainable injection-molded plastic products for pets, has automated the movement of 1,500 pallets daily with a building supported by energy-efficient racks.
